the Z looks smoking hot!!!
your car looks great but there are a few things i would do if it was my car....
1-clear the headlights or get some 04s
2-paint the inside of the front opening of the front bumper black
3-get some other wheels that have the same design, but better offsets

\-------/ just making sure we both think of toe out as same


this will cause more clearance on rear bumper and the camber should help on big dips
WOW! you want him to toe it out?!?!

although i applaud your effort, you guys should be driving 350z's if your only goals are showing off wheels.

That is nowhere close to a reccomended rear toe setting.

Because they are trying to fit wheels with ridiculous offsets and as these pictures show, they don't fit like they were preaching. That is nowhere near being a good fit for the car, you can argue all day long but at the end of the day the photos show your tires eating your car.

The style and color of wheel is alright, similar to Work S1's but just don't fit no matter how much you "think" they do. Your sheetmetal is trashed on all four corners. You need run a 3 finger gap all around to even think about running some twisties. Looks hard going in a straight line and that's about it.

On a side note I think I saw your car on the northbound 15 on Friday night on the way to Vegas. My girlfriend goes "Oh look, another S." I drove by(not in the S) and and was like whoa, the fenders are jacked! LOL.

When the Fuct did rear toe out and 3-4 degrees of negative camber become a reccomended alignment settting? Oh yeah, when you needed to clear wheels that don't fit.

As long as you never drive the car those alignment angles are just perfect.



You do know that 1/4 +or- 1/16in. Toe in is the spec for rear toe?

I would put my life on Slows2k knowing more about cars than you will ever know in your life. So I would say you need to chill out. I think a Certified Master Technician knows what he is talking about.
