    lol man ive been trying to tell you.. what width are ur wheels?

    but i dont think you need to put a stretch tire on ur rims, you may just invest in some eccentric bolts, and add some camber. Or try lowering it some more, and see if you get some more camber out of the rear.

    i think the g35 wheels are what 8" wide? dont think that will really do much with a 225..

    My wheels are 18x8 with 245/40s

    I'm not going to stretch my tires, but I am going to get some new wheels, 19x8.5 with prob a little stretch such as 235/35 or something..and no neg camber for me

    that 235 on that 8.5 equals 0 stretch.. if you want to stretch on that 8.5 your gonna have to go down to a 205-215 atleast.... But its not neccesary. I gurantee if you lower the car some more when your fixing the axle. Physics will kick in , and you will get a bit more camber out the rear.

    And for the front i will advise just a few degrees of camber, to fix it. Because that tire size you are talking isnt gonna do anything.

    dont let hellaflush/stanceworks etc. out weigh physics! its how suspension works!

    1) The tires around my 8 inch wide wheels are 245 mm wide and they sit flush, perfectly flush with my wheel, with that said how would putting 235's on a wider wheel(8.5) not stretch it? I do not want a lot of stretch, only a little bit, and I mean a little...

    2) I have camber plates in the front, and as of yet have not had to use them. I am pretty low and my camber is fine. coilovers ftw

    jus sayin

    it depends on the tire, but a 235 on a 8.5 isnt gonna fix what you want. There is another half inch that you dont see on regular properly fitted tires. and it doesnt begin to truly stretch until you get down to a certain width.. and with the 8.5 its the 215-205..

    here is a pic of a 225 on a 8.5 with a falken tire, and they are known to stretch good. What you need is some camber to fix this problem.. with the stretch your still gonna scrub. drop the car more.. and you will see
