9.5 +22 for the front should be fine.

How much does it stick out? Is flush the right terminology?

Yes, and I think the +22 is perfect.

+22 it is after your pic! Also was debating between silver and black, but I may just well go with the black since I have a red just like yours :)

do you have any significant flush? Can't tell from the pic since it's from an angle and not straight on.

It is flush with the top apex of the fender...i could take pics straight on at ground level that may show a better angle...but i'll have to get those tomorrow if you really want those.

Osiris,

The RE11's are Bridgestone Tires right?
What specs are those? Width and sidewall size?

Yes, Bridgestone

265/35/19 Front
305/30/19 Rear

I also have a friend that is running RE11's with this setup:

285/35/19
305/30/19

Says the wider front wheels works great for autocross. Noticable difference over the 265's.

So you're running a +22 265 up front, no rubbing whatsoever?

This is what size I wanna go to, I have a 255 there now.

Any over/under-steer noticed?

No rubbing at all, and i have a 1" drop in the front. But keep in mind the 265 is on a 9.5" wheel vs the 9" stock front. No over/under steer that i've noticed.

It's flush, but it's not hella flush right? lol. I just don't want it poking out from outside of the fender. As long as it's in parallel with it then that's ok

I hate hella flush, so it's a respectable flush, if you go to cars n cafe on the 25th in Orlando, you can see it.

Same drop here. :tup: Looking forward to getting this setup now.

Yup one forum member also suggested that to have a better balance of the car it should have a 20 difference staggered front vs rear.

Whats your camber number on your rear?

just so happens that i got an alignment recently! Rear camber is -2.6/-2.5 left/right

A camber kit would bring it into specs, but i've had it like this over 10k miles and haven't had an issue with excessive wear.

Wow thats great mine is at -2.0 on both rears. I thought this was already to much of a camber for excessive wear. I do have camber kits.
But at -2.6 and not much wear with the RE11's??? Amazing!
I guess Im safe then with the -2.0:tup:
BTW my set up is 255/305 V12

I'm getting pissed cause every time I go for an alignment the shop either 'doesn't have the specs for a 370Z' or just gives me the alignment for a 350Z. It's annoying, so I have no idea what mine are at.

I'm running a 295 in the back and I have camber arms, but I don't know what the stock specs for this mod should be. :confused:
