Message First let me say I like your car and love the wheels.

Like you, I did a lot of research on the LMGT4s. I asked around to some of the regulars on here that (have) run the common 350z offsets.

Yes, you are sitting high in that first pic. Maybe I shouldn't have said NO modification, but it is possible given the right tire width, aspect ratio, sidewall profile, ride height, etc.

I guess I was surprised the shop went straight to a "pull". Lots of guys just do a "roll" if anything. Anywhere from mild to aggressive. (And yes, a more aggressive roll can "pull", or flare-out, the fender a bit -- but it's not a full-on body shop pull.) Also, the Z32 rear wheels/tires tuck in a bit at full compression.

Here's some of my favorite examples that just have a roll and no "seriously retarded camber" (to the best of my knowledge). Though I think Scott did a slight pull later on to accomodate 285/35s with his low drop. He is the last pic, but I'm not sure if it was taken before or after the slight pull.

Guys, please correct me if I am mistaken about any of the above pics...
