I would probably drop back to a wheel with +25 in the back if you have backspace clearance.

That 4th pic w/ that much of the outer edge of the tire off the ground will result in pretty poor wear, adding even more camber, yikes!

I know you're not too opposed to selling the wheels, I think I'd look into that, especially since stretched tires aren't something you're wanting to do.

If that 4th pic is an anomaly and your camber is truly only -2, then another .5 camber would be a plan.
I actually just raised the rear up half an inch and now sitting at -2.5 camber. Will post pics later.

Here it is guys! Lifted the front up .25" and rear .5". Lifted the front as well so I don't get a drag car rake look. Added a bit camber to the rears and now sitting at -2.5. Rear wheel still pokes out but slightly more pleasing to the eyes. No more rubbing issues for me. It's kind of hard to tell if I added more camber in the pic but in person it looks fine to me.

These GTS wheels are discontinued and hard to find so I'd have to live with the current setup.

That last round of pics looks quite a bit better, looks like you could live with that.

Yeah lol. I can't really do anything more since I'm not willing to "stance" the car.

Hey blnewt after readjusting suspension, would it need some time to settle like it was brand new? Just curious.

No, should stay as-is within a real small range.

Just bought these Forgestar CF10 in 19x9 +35 and 19x10 +42 wrapped in 255/40R19 and 285/35R19. I need an alignment to figure out how much camber I have from being lowered on H&R springs.

Jesus, those H&R springs are aggressive AF. Those tires are both basically stock diameter; crazy that they tuck. You're gonna have a lot of camber. This makes me not feel bad about wanting to go lower on my coilovers.

Speaking of going low.... how many miles are people getting with ~-2 camber on a set of tires? I do about 15-20K miles per year; I'd rather not have to replace tires annually.

My previous wheels were 20x8.5 +25 with 245/35R20 and 20x10.5 +35 with 275/30R20 Nitto Invos. With my current setup, alignment wise, I only got 6 months out of my rears. I am sure i have something like -4 degrees of camber but could be wrong. I won't know until I get an alignment and hopefully soon. I feel -2 isn't bad. I also drive 110 miles everyday.

Yeah, those H&Rs really are a slammed spring, nice wheel choice panda 13, looks great on a white G. Hopefully you can get your alignment specs much closer to stock.

Future, I'd say about 15-17k on sticky summer tires running -2 camber, but maybe more if you have a squared setup and can rotate often.

Dropped on H&R with Velgen VMB07 in 20x9(+27) and 20x10.5 (+40). 245s up front and 285 in the rear.

2.5 Degrees Camber all around.

This is beautiful!!! I didn't consider springs until now. I love the look! I have a set of 20x10.5 +28 wheels sitting in my garage, but I don't want to put them on until I have my suspension components. I had K-Sport coilovers on my Altima, so I had planned to get K-Sport coilovers for my G37. After seeing the last 2 sedans on H&R springs, I may have to reconsider. My fear is that, with the H&R springs, the wheels will tuck and cause a scrapping nightmare. With coilovers I can simply raise it up. Oh what do I do?!?!?!?!?!
