I recently bought a 2003 Infiniti G35 from a used car lot. When i bought the car i didnt pay much attention to things that would be wrong with it since it just came off a lot. About a week later i noticed that i had a bent rim, horribly bent. I took it back to the lot and the owner replaced all 4 rims and even new tires. Ive had it for about another week and already i can see the same problem, one of my rims is starting to bend. The camber seems TOO negative in the back, so i checked out my car. My G35 was lowered on springs and whoever the owner was before me, didnt put a camer kit on it. I dont wanna drive it because the risk of making the rims even more bent. Does anyone know good camber kits to use? and or any other advice to give.


Thank you.

 

eibach / spc camber kit w/ toe bolts. before you start buying things, try to get an alignment and see where that puts you..g35c's come from the factory with some negative camber and sometimes an alignment will get you within spec.. no hurt in trying.

 

I have called a couple of shops in the area, and im not exactly to sure how low my car is, but an estimate is between 2.5 and 3', so most of them said their lifts wont work because my car is too low. Im going to keep looking around, and hopefully find a shop.

Anything else i should do?

 

1) Welcome
2) Search the forum for camber kits, you will find a lot of reviews of what people like and use.
3) WTF the rim is bending? Negative camber will not bend the rim, and if any damage was to result from negative camber it would be on the inner rim edge.
4) Please elaborate on "one of my rims is starting to bend". I am curious as to what you mean.

 

Well not entirely to sure about the rim, the rear rims have dents around the outer part of the rim, i keep getting told different things, the camer needs to be fixed, or i should go from low pros to medium pros, and even that i have cheap rims.

 

Such as curb marks?
Have you hit any curbs?
I cant think of a single rim (even the cheapest of the cheap) that would bend in a week under normal driving conditions.

Post the details of your wheels, tires, and camber.

 

Would it be better if i took a picture and posted it? Also details about what your asking?

 

Yes a pic is worth 1000 words

 

lol ill get right on it. give me 5.

 

Rims don't just bend, avoid those pot holes!

 

Front Tires - 235/35 ZR19 91W
Rear Tires - 265/30 ZR19 93W

 

Trust me i try and avoid them as much as possible, and when i do see them i take caution when going over or around them.

 

Those arnt bends in the rim, they are knicks. They look odd. Do you have any enemys because those dents look intentional and not something road debris would cause.

 

*sigh*

What a relief to know they arent bends. Thank you for that, and no i dont have any enemys, i would know that for sure. Any idea on what it could be?

Im also going to post up pictures on the rear wheels showing how bad the camber is.

 

Is the camber suppose to be this noticeable, i really need a camber kit. :/ And this was with the camera lying flat on the floor.
