Thanks to Vince!

I was wanting to try this after reading this thread about 100 times....

Ordered the Nismo wheels and the RE-11 tires figuring they would be a really, really tight fit. Well...it turned out really well.

The car rides and drives fantastic! Smooth, quiet and I couldn't be happier with these big RE-11s. Straight line hook is much improved as well. Car will still spin some in first gear and sometimes a little second with the 7AT, depending on road surface conditions. Before, with the RE760s would be everywhere, spin and squeal into third gear.

Those POS RE760 tires were JUNK!

I have just a slight amount of poke, maybe 5 mm. I have installed the lower adjustable camber arms and have my rear camber set at -.7 degrees in the pics. I really like this setting. Car is a joy to drive!

There is no rubbing, why? Because the control arms on the 370Z are so short, that the tire rotates (tips) into the wheel well on compression (bump) of the spring.

Great mod!
