Just curious...is this common with running fat tires and offsets on the G or is your car lowered as well?

Hey guys!!!! Updated the first post with some interesting videos I found via Forgeline's YouTube page. They discuss center locks. Check them out and let me know what you think! 
With a proper alignment you shouldn't see this happening. This is a prime example of what your patch contact is with a crazy camber. Improper toe could assist on this as well.
I run really aggressive tire fitment on my 350Z but have a "square" alignment for maximum tire/road contact.

^ I wouldn't say its common. Like Robert said if your within factory spec you shouldn't have an issue. I'm not running crazy camber or anything just eibachs with no camber correction. On the canyons it feels better to have the extra cornering grip. Toe, caster, etc. are all within spec.
A square setup is great but the mid corner grip is much better with a little more front camber. The rear you see here is actually within factory spec on one side and just over factory on the other side. What you see was the result of a lot of sliding one day an an uneven and abrasive surface. The hankooks don't seem to like abuse too much hahaa

The Infiniti is set for OEM alignment specs.
Great thread! Too bad I don't have time to read all 31 pages here at work.
I got a great deal off the site for a square Five AD SF5 setup. 265/30/20 +33 ( I think) on 10" rim widths.Now, I'm finding I have a slow leak on one of the tires between the bead and the rim. Took it to a local shop and had them try to clean it up. No dice. Still leaking. It's odd, some days it leaks like a ****...other days it holds pressure.
My option at this point is to replace the tires with something less stretched. I'm thinking 275/30 front and 285/30 rears. No drop on the suspension. I sort of like the "bulldog" look with the wheels sticking out.
Any fitment issues?

tire size
I am waiting to do the drop till I get my FI CBE so I can see how much I want to do. I am only thinking 1" in rear and maybe 1.5" in front. I do not want any scraping nor do I want to fear driveways or speed bumps. I love the lowered look and performance gains...hate the tire issues and some of the other things it can cause. My friends g is on coil-overs with camber kit...with a staggered set and he eats rears...even though he has it aligned every 6 months (or so he says! )
