bc coilovers: rear left stick out

infiniti g37x 2012.. My g37x has bc coilovers, my rear left wheel is sticking out more than the right one, and its causing tire wear, not so much of big deal. can it be fixed with a wheel alignment or do i have to get camber kit?

Photos, please. Are the left and right wheels the same width? Is there a thin spacer stuck to the left wheel? Are the tires the same width? Have you had an alignment yet?

You can see how it looks more out - rear left
Rear right looks okay

Theres no spacers, & im looking forward to doing an alignment once I find the right place, most of them can’t do it bc the car is low. What do you think the problem might be ?

This requires pulling the wheels off again, but are the offsets the same? That should be molded into the backside of a spoke. Or, you could measure it...

Looks like you have excessive camber on the passenger side or at least quite a bit more than the drivers side. Those rear GTR wheels are very aggressive for a G sedan. What setup are you running in front? Need to be real careful w/ front to rear tire diameter matching on your AWD. With those aggressive rear wheels camber is about the only tool you can use to keep from rubbing the fenders, hopefully you can get it evened out better, but ideally those are the wrong wheels for a proper fit. Also if you lower it that much without any alignment your toe setting will be way off, this will really toast your tires.


Offsets along w/ wheel diameter and width should be stamped on the inside of the spokes (or sometimes a sticker in the barrel) here's an example

This is how the car looks, I have the same wheels in the front.... if I get it aligned you think it’ll help at all? Or should I really get cambers?

If you are running the same wheels in front are they all the 20x10.5 +25 offset? The pics from the back appear to have the wheel edge out from the fender so that would be the 10.5s. The front OEM GTR wheels are a much easier fit, a 20x9.5 +45, this would be easy to run without any extra camber and no stretched tires.


As far as running a 9" wide wheel on a lowered sedan w/ camber in spec a +35 offset will be fine.


And yes, running your G that low would require a full front and rear camber set (w/ rear toe kit) to get your alignment properly set.

Camera placement isn't the same left to right, so one can't make a side-to-side height assessment.
