NEGATIVE CAMBER on the rears
I haven't done much of adjusting on my rears, but the camber seems a bit more negative than others. I am curious ... I believe that the rears are slanted in just a bit for a purpose right?
Has anybody gone about straightening out the rear completely and then bringing it out to be flush w/ the fender (the way precision offsets are w/ 19s,20s, aftermarkets)?
I kinda of want that look, what am I looking at? Reallignment and camber arms? And then hubcentric spacers?

Oem specs call for negitive camber, it's completely normal for the rear wheels to "look" like they are tilted inwards a bit. Stick with Infiniti's recommended settings, especially rear toe in.

Gotcha. However, mine seem a bit more IN than the specs (well according to all the other coupes I see out there)... is it just time for an allignment job? Car runs fine...
yes, he is correct. the factory set up is in negative camber. you can buy Stillen's rear camber adjuster for just above $400.00 to correct this issue. the problem occurs when you have lowered the car significantly; because adjustment of negative camber will cause you to rub the tire against the inside wheel well. the fix for that is rolling the fenders. a good wheel/tire shop will have a machine which can roll them, and it usually costs around $35.00/fender. hope this helps.

If it bothers you, you should take it into an alignment shop to lessen
the neg camber on the rear. If you have a value in mind (like -1.2),
let them know before they begin. Otherwise, if it's not too bad, they
will only do a test drive and take quick measurements and tell you that
it's in spec.
They will need to fix the toe when they change camber settings on
this car, so you'll probably end up having to pay for the entire 4
wheel alignment.
I have noticed that some G35C's come with more neg camber and toe-in
out of the factory....so you're probably not alone. I've had my car
aligned twice already when I got my lowering springs installed and planning
to do another performance alignment in the Spring.
