I like them better than the last set. Are these off of a 350z?

move on...
Thanks for your input in assuming I have an issue with it.

I am asking what the benefits are. I have not seen that much negative camber since my race days, and even then we never ran that much.

Come on McKrevice, we know you like your GS stock and make fun of all the mods people do. You said it yourself, you have a racecar so you obviously know there's no real benefit for driving on your sidewalls except to make wheels that don't fit pretend like they fit. Don't try to play like I was just asking a question when you already know the answer

touche and good memory.

But seriously, does it help with handling? Or is it just for looks? I am curious.

I'd think handling would suck...that's me personally though. I'm running camber but not that much.
