steadfast: I think -3 camber and a 0.05 toe is what im leaning towards. My last set up was -3 and +1.2 toe and it ultimately killed my tires in 9k! So I guess that example shows proof that positive toe doesn't counter negative camber. Hmm, I think I just answered my own question. I guess I am asking to get reassurance. LOL

Go for it and let us know.

Like I said, the adding toe to counter the camber is probably just to shift where the tires wear out, if anything it'll wear out even faster.

Right now I'm running at -2 at 0 toe. This is recently though so I can't speak for how the wear is.

Toe annihilates tires. The G35 is a performance vehicle, so there is toe to help with on-power corner exits.

However, most vehicles run little to zero toe (for example, our truck).

When you have toe, your tire is basically being dragged ever so slightly across the ground (not just rolling) and this is the type of stuff that KILLS tires - same thing with burnouts. Anytime you have any sort of slippage your tires just get roasted.
