So how many degrees of Negative camber do you have in the rear. A shop told me today if I go any lower with the 25mm spacers i want to put in than I will have to run -3 degrees in the rear. I am currently on 350z s-tech...

Also do you have front camber arms?

-1.5 Camber up front -3 in the rear.

I'm on stock front A-arms. I have the SPC hub shims that give a static 2.0 degrees. So without them i'd be at -3.5

Can I ask weird question how come you went such a narrow tire 225's and not 245s or 255s and just not use your 15mm spacer

Also side question. My front tire is 235's I have stock 350z wheels can I run 25mm spacer up front or is that not good idea?

My goal is to have a stance similar to yours on 18's as well because 18" wheels are cheaper and tires are cheaper.. I like your drop but they may be a little too low for me I am thinking a little bit higher.. Also your sidewalls are 45's and so are mine for some reason mine look way thicker than yours..

idk I keep hearing mixed opinions and responses when it comes to stance/suspension setups..

Because then i would only be flush and not "HellaFlush" without the 10mm spacers the wheel doesnt sit outside the fender.

Yes, you can run a 25mm spacer. You'd be at an 8 +5 up front. What are you going to do for the rear?

I was going to do 25mm all around but at the shop I was at who just installed toe bolts told me max I should do up front is 15mm spacer because 25mm might be too much and since it widens when your tire turns it might hit front bumper or fender he said..

Current Setup

Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 24.4
Tire: 235/45/18

Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18

Suspension 350z S-tech

I plan to add 25mm spacers all around to that right now..
And future (6 months - 1 year) go with coilovers and go A LITTLE bit lower than now.

BTW i know you said you got spacers to push the tire out more to get the "HellaFlush" But I thought wider tires would have the same effect?

It depends on your camber. I'd go with a 20mm up front and a 15 in the rear, assuming your rear fenders are rolled flat.

I had a 20x8.5 +20 with a 245/35/20 with a 3" drop and -2 camber.

A wider tire would get the setup closer to the fenders but the wheel would not stick out past the fender. The whole point of "Hella Flush" is to have the wheel sticking out past the fender with the stretched tire tucking back under.

Ahhh okay thanks.. That clears up the "HellaFlush" definition for me. My rear fenders are rolled yes. How come only 15mm in the rear and not more aggressive?

Because you dont have stretched tires and you're not low enough with enough camber.

Trust me, run a 15mm spacer in the rear and -2 camber and your tires will be right at the fender.

Grant knows what he is talking about, I would never second guess what he says.
