Yeah, you can still use your OEM rear camber arms, you'll just be providing more slot adjusting range when you dremel the new slot and put the SPC bolts that have a higher offset into the slot.
And yes, a new alignment is required as you'll be changing your geometry pretty good back there.

Looking for some advice on tires

Looking for some advice, read practically all the posts dont see anything with these specs.I have a square setup 19x9.5 +40 on a 2011 xs sedan. And am wondering if I can go with 275-40-19 square without a drop. Would there be any rubbing in the front, would a lower profile be better or 265's. I am running 245-40-19 right now , and they are not protecting the wheel rim at all, a little stretched. Picture below. I am not too knowledgable on this stuff. Thanks

275/35 would be a better choice if you wanted that wide but I'd try 255/40 or 265/35 first

I have 9.5 +38 on 245 front 285 back, I have a decent amount of room up front but not sure if 15mm more would be an issue. I know 265/35s would fit, but 275s you might have to roll that front fender edge (which isn't a big deal for a shop that does this regularly).

blnewt,
I have '10x sedan with Eibach springs and rear camber arms. I would like to know if I can run the rear Nismo 19x10.5 +23 wheels F/R or do I have to go with the fronts 19x9.5 +40.

As always, you're invaluable in this area.

Run the fronts all around, you'll be much happier, check Zahy Matars' build thread for that exact fitment, it's perfect w/ 255/40s all around.

That's bad news. I am not finding Zahy Matars build thread. I have a friend that has them on swifts. I see how they fit.

Here's a couple that are running them, the older version and the newest ones.

OK hope someone can help me.
my front wheels are 19x9.5 +25 how do I get them to look like a 19x10.5 +22?
I have air suspension and when I air it out my front wheels tuck.
The guy below has his fronts at 19x10.5 +22 and they don't tuck as much so i would like to get them to look closer to his specs. (he also has air suspension)
What size spacer would you recommend?




This is what mine looks like

Comes out to 15.7mm, so a 15mm will get you there.
Both those Gs are tasty as hell!

bltnewt, oh master of tires, I have a question.
I want to run 265/40/19s all around, on 19x8.5 +35s. I already bought the rears as I know that should be no problem, and I know my tire is 0.5" too small for recommended but from what I've read, 265s seem to fit without any problem. Will I rub in the front with this setup? Otherwise I can do 235/45/19 up front but I'd rather have a fat tire squared look as opposed to a trike look.

Hello,

I'm currently looking into trading my 20" Rohana RC9's for a set of 370 Nismo Forged Rays (See attached pictures).

Wheels specs are as follows:

Front are 19x9 +47 offset and rear 19x10 +30 offset 5x114.3

I have a 2012 G37S Sedan 6MT. I'm currently lowered on Tein Z Flex Coilovers, roughly at about 1.5 F, 1.0 R drop.

I'm looking to see which tire sizes would work with these wheels where I wouldn't have to pull fender/ quarters or rub. Would love to do a meaty rear setup.

Thanks in advance for the help!!
