Whatcha all think?
 
I was told today that my car is basically a street legal race car that should be on Summit Point Raceway. Driving around in normal conditions is going to continue to scrape the front tires and eventually the inside of the rear tires will begin to get scuffed.

Making me think my most expensive upgrade to my car wasn't worth it. :(

I need some positive outpouring! Please tell me I didn't do the wrong thing. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Z but today's comments kinda hit hard.

I think its the sex, if you like it wtf cares what someone else says? Its not like the tires are going to last for 50k miles anyway.

Very true.....I usually don't let it but today wasnt a good day and that was just the icing on the cake. I guess I'm more venting than worrying. Thanks! :tiphat:

Are you asking us if the negative camber will make the inside of your tires wear out prematurely? I believe it will. If you don't have a rear camber kit you should get one. I don't think you can install front camber kit because of the low offset you chose because if you return the front camber to oem settings the top of your wheels will stick out past the fenders.

I think it looks good too but stock rear tires on oem suspensions last about 20k miles if you rarely drive hard. If you want your tires to last 20k miles you should get rear camber kits. I don't think you can get a front camber kit.

Thanks for the tip. No, I don't have but did consider a rear camber kit. The rears look perfect, the fronts, however:

Would adding a rear camber kit fix this? Or is the solution raising the car slightly? Yeah, I guess that is my main concern.

Those rims look sick! Dont even worry about it dude. Just take care of it, and take the proper precautions to make sure everything lasts. And you'll be fine.
