Make sure your toe is spec cause this is what happens when you don’t.

Depending where you live it can be difficult to find a shop that has an alignment rack that you can get on and some tire shops don’t want to touch low profile tires especially when you want to run a stretch tire. Not trying to discourage you all from going aggressive but some things to consider

well im running 225/35 as of now so i was looking for a bit bigger tire. and idk but i just dig negative camber. i know i dont have the widest rims but i still would like to run a -3.5 or -4 camber. but i figure i would need more contact area. thats why i figured i could get rid of the rear tires and replace with larger ones. but i still want the look of a mild stretch. would a 245/35 work better?

245/35 would be a mild stretch depending on the tire brand. TycoRC is running 245/35s on his 9.5s and looks almost as stretched as mine.

Pics of your setup with 225s out back? What are you running up front? How low are you?

im running 225s all around. i dont have pics of rears but ill try n get some up. im on springs which sux but ive got a nice drop on the rear but the front still has about 1.75 inch gap. im on tanabe nf210 for a 350z. for some reason theyve dropped me more than what was advertised. an extra .25 inch in front n back. they say .9/1.6 inch drop on z's plus the 1 inch difference in sedan heaight plus .25 unnacounted for( im guessing spring wear). would it look bad if i ran the 245s up front and just left 225s on the rear? probably right. i wanna get rid of that front wheel gap but i cant budget for coilovers yet.

As you suspected 245s up front and 225s out back would not look good.

You really need coils to get rid of the wheel gap. No sense in running stretched tires if you don't need the clearance. Fender needs to be right on top of tire with a bit of wheel poking out IMO. I think you need to run larger tires until you get coils. What are your offsets?

Assuming you have a flat roll and no fender pull a 15mm spacer will be perfect out back. Looking forward to seeing your setup come together. Post pics once you get the new spacers on.

im running -2 rear (32mmspacer) w a 7 mm pull and +20 in front w 10mm spacer. yea i knew i needed bigger tire but i still wanted a hint of stretch. i bought a camber kit from infiniti the other day but now im second guessing whether i want to run more neg camber w a bigger tire or do you think that would look bad?

G spot, do not run a larger tire up front. It would not look right. Have any pics of the current set up? This would help with ideas. Also a 32mm spacer is HUUUUGE!
