Should I or should I not do this!

Now that I ordered a SPC rear camber kit I can actually go lower. I was thinking about doing the spring mount mod to my 350 Z H Techs so that I can go even a bit lower in the back and I could actually put these kits to use. My question is, since i will be putting my 20's back on I dont want to do any fender rolling. Do you guys think I would have issues if I did with a 275/30/20 on a 10 inch rim? With this kit, I can put my camber and toe to what ever i want correct. Let me know what you think, Thanx.

The thing is that iForged does not give out offsets. Its their secret, lol. So basically if I do have some rubbing issues I can just set it to have a little negative cmber and I should be fine? That is also trying to stay in spec correct? So do you guys think I should do that mod. Will it look better in the rear, cuz the fronts are sweet. I was going to install the rear tires to see how much space there was and then judge from there. Does anyone here have any good pics of 20's with h techs, want to see the gap.

Offset is the key... There is nothing wrong with rolling your fender... Its unfortunate that you dont know the offset of your wheels...

Doesnt that rear camber eat up your tires tough?
Yep, I dont know my offsets cuz iForged does not give them out. But they do happen to be one of the best wheel companies, so I dont know about the whole not buying from them.

I rotate every 5000 miles... My tires are fine... I wouldnt buy wheels if they cant even tell me what the offsets are... For all I know they could just be getting rid of old inventory...

Its actually the toe angle combined with the camber that will chew up your tires...

All iforged wheels are custom made, and only made after ordering, they don't stock any wheels. Our tires can't be rotate either, so I'm not sure how you do that if you have a coupe?

You would have to break them down and swap rims. You DO NOT want to swap sides with the back tires! They are ment to roll in ONE DIRECTION ONLY.

Ummm... I take it you dont rorate your tires... Them being directional. the car being RWD plus Im running more camber is ecaxtly why I rotate...

I never said I simply swap the tires...

So let me be more specific...

I have my rear tires dismounted, mounted and rebalanced every 5000 miles... The fronts I do every 10000 miles ...

Fortunately, I get this done for free ...

Also, you CAN swap the rears from left to right... It would be a waste of time since it does absolutely nothing... I can assure you if you do so they will still roll in the direction they need to...

Do you have a sedan? If you have a Coupe, they are staggerd sizes and you can't rotate front to back, just side to side.

If you swap left to right without breaking them down (one axle only) i assure YOU the rotations will switch.
