They are angled / / \ \ like so. The left is slightly more angled than the right. I looked and looked and had ppl look to see if they notice it too. And they say yeah they are. Is there something wrong or are they suppose to be that way? I would look at another nismo but none are available to look at. Do any of you notice this on your nismos?
They are angled like this so that they sit more flat when cornering. As the body rolls the tires will "flatten" out against the ground better than if they were aligned straight up and down (|| ||).

This is referred to as "camber".
