New to forums living near Charlotte, NC

Just introducing myself to the Vipstylecars forums. I have a 2005 Nissan Altima. I know it's not a VIP Platform, but would like to maybe turn it into a Vipstyle, if possible..here is my set-up right now on factory suspension. Looking forward to the help and knowledge.

20 x 9.5 40et MRR Hr3's with 225/35/20 Nexen N3000 Tires

Passenger Side Rear (about a 2 fingers and less than a 1/4)

if you plan on dropping it any, you will need spacers because the wheel will camber and you will start tucking at the top.

There is actually an Altima with the same rims...this is would it would look like eventually dropped, but I would really like the fender between the lip and tire in the back instead of tucked as this one is...

No, I don't have any full pics of my altima right now. I really am not into taking pics of my car.>*LOL* The wheel fitment pics were just to show where I was at so I could get help on fitment.

I see you're located in NC? What part? Been trying to find a place that will roll fenders/suspension mods/installation on Saturdays..most places open only on weekdays.:( And where I'm located no reputable places.

Not going to put airbags, most likely coilovers. Paid my car off and the only infiniti I would get is the M45 2005 up. I like the older one styles from what I've seen, but unless I can get one with less miles than mines 86,000 and paying it out based on trading mine in..about 8,000 blue book..then...

Is there anyway to stop the camber from happening when lowering a considerable amount?
