Nope no camber kit. I'll have to take the tire off and look under the wheel well to see if I can find the bolt you are talking about. I don't see any scratches on my tires or wheels so I'm guessing it's just the plastic.

 

yeah these are other factors I wasn't thinking of. If there is a lot of weight in the trunk and depending on your offsets then you might just have to trim

 

You need to push more camber

What tires are you rocking?

 

I rubbed on that bolt daily for a year, other then the extremely annoying sound you won't see damage to the tire. Worst I saw was rubber dust and tire dressing bulding up on the rear whenever I dressed my tires. The bolt flange is right at the top at 2 o'clock where the rear panel meets the body just on the inside of the fender.

Subs aren't a concern, however a full tank can make a bit of difference. I still rub slightly on very large bumps. I plan to ask for max neg camber within spec at my next alignement, I'm not a fan of the training wheel look...lol.

 

Tires are 275/30/20.

I think I see the bolt in question. It attaches the bumper to the quarter panel. There's only about 1.5" clearance so I'm sure I've rubbed it some but strangely enough there doesn't seem to be any burns on it or marks on my tire.

I'm going from memory here but I think my camber is -1.2. Not sure how much more negative I can go and stay in spec. Isn't the max around -1.8?

I actually thought about putting the OEM springs back on the rear. I recall thinking immediately after the drop that the rear didn't drop all that much but I'm sure it's settled since then and it would look kinda funny. I wonder if anyone has tried this.

 

What offsets are your wheels??

 

Great question! I bought them on wheelfire.com and the only offset info they show is this.

Offset: HPO/MED.

 

GT30's are 37 offset rear, 35 front, Eibach rear drop was .7", rear camber spec is -1.8 with a -.8 range. Going back to OEM will help some but you'll still probably need to do camber as well, maybe both will pull it off for you.

 

you bought wheels without knowing any kind of offsets? That doesn't seem very intuitive, they could have been way messed up for your setup. You got lucky.

 

Should've also bought a lottery ticket on that day lol

 

Well, when I bought them, I filtered by my make, model, and year, so I let the wheel experts tell me which wheels fit my car because I had no clue.

I guess I could have got on here and asked, or even searched, but I've seen enough GT30s on Gs to think it was a good fit.

 

again, you got lucky. Just filtering by make, model, year doesn't really mean squat since with different mod's you can make almost any wheel fit, but w/o any extra work there is definitely a narrower margin.

I'm glad it worked w/ little headache, but if you ever buy new wheels I'd make sure to check out things like the offset before buying

I've seen lots of wheels on G37's and there are MANY that if you tried to just slap them on any random G you won't be going anywhere w/o major problems
