I'm a new owner of a 2005 350Z. I recently put on new wheels but I'm not happy with the positioning. I would like them flush with the fenders. The rear stance ofthe wheels has the bottom of tthe Tire sticking out farther than ttop which I know is standard. Is there an adjustment to being the top out so they are more flush. Or should I put on these extended wheel studs and 5/16 spacers to achieve the flush look ?

Nice to see a fellow 350z Anniversary owner on here!

There's not a lot of rear camber adjustment available in the Z without the assistance of some aftermarket parts (the front camber is non-adjustable in stock form). You'll definitely see some accelerated tire wear running an put of spec camber setting, no way to really tell you how much though.

Personally I'm not one of the flush guys, I just want my stuff to work and not rub. And I'm not really into running spacers, I'd buy wheels with an offset that fit how I wanted. But I'll ask around and see if I can someone that can help you out.

Modify a highly engineered car to improve performance - OK.
Modify to alter appearance but not affect performance - OK.
Modify to alter appearance at the expense of performance or reliability - Really?
