I did the same thing, moving my side view mirrors out the farthest. However, I learned my lesson with the Honda CRX which has the same hatchback like blind spot issues. I don't have an issue so far, but the 370Z's *** is so big, it is sometimes difficult to see the road beneath back bumper when backing up

Yuuuup! Read this thread after I was very close to merging into a motorcyclist and facing the mirrors all the way out works. I went until i heard the first click. It takes a while to get used to it but no more blind spot, no more close calls :D

Your side-view mirrors overlap much of what your inside rearview mirror sees

Honestly backing up is more troublesome for me. The blind spot doesn't bother me so much, I just learned to keep a better idea of what's around me at all times and I never change lanes at a constant vehicle speed, I either slow down or speed up before changing lanes, so what was in the blind spot moves into view.

Get Blind spot mirrors and always back into a park space. It is a hassle pulling into a parking space and having to break your neck trying to get out.

Zoom Engineering all the way. Take your time and install them correctly.
These mirrors leave you no blind spot and the blue tint looks really good.

Yea, I'm good with stock mirrors adjusted all the way out. No blind spot. The advantage I have is the reverse camera. Makes backing into a spot easy.

Nice sig.

With my mirrors adjusted correctly I don't have a problem with the blind spot. However, I do have a problem with the wing mirrors being so large that they block my view especially to the left. I've learned to be very careful at 4 way stops. More than once I've had a car hidden behind my mirror.

cs fixed the left-turn visibility issue for me.

I did the same thing, passenger mirror all the way out until it clicks, and there is still a huge blind spot on the right side. Can't see the highway at all when I am merging in from the left on a u-turn type road on a highway, or cars merging in from the right side entrance ramps. UNLESS I lean all the way toward the steering wheel and then look over to the mirror. I'm 6'3" so with the seat all the way back and leaned all the way back the blind spot is very problematic. Turning your head doesn't help as the huge C Pillar is in the way (between small window and hatch). Currently getting a curved rearview mirror so that can play a larger role.

Curious how tall are you? Or how much do you lean forward?
