if you don't care at all about camber wear don't worry about it, just make sure your toe is at 0

an inch will only warrant you +1.5* of camber.

that guy clearly doesn't know what he's doing or talking about to begin with.

Quick question.. In the process of purchasing a 2006 G35x sedan and I wanted to purchase these wheels since the ones that come with the car have horrid road rash. Would I be able to run this staggered setup without any problems?

Hey all,

How much better is the ride quality with 19in rims vs 20in rims. I have 20's, bought it like that, but was hoping that switching to 19's would make it ride a bit less stiff.

You will have a much better ride quality riding on 19's as opposed to 20's...

if you want good ride.. 18 ftw..

03 G35 coupe w/ brembo

My next idea for my car is getting some xxr 521 rims and new tires. What would be the best fitment for the car. Don't want hard camber, but want wide rears with a full fender, so what the widest rears I could fit? Please let me know, thanks guys
