Camber

Never really fooled around with camber, but who does it? Can you get the alignment shop to add camber or do you guys mess with it yourself?

most cars have some sort of camber adjustments. Usually adjusting the bolts attached to the lower control arm or upper. Very limited on how much camber can be added or taken away. Also depends on type of suspension you have and the geometry of the entire suspension. Some aftermarket companies make complete arm replacements that can be adjusted more than the stock camber bolts.

Of course you can get the alighnment shop to do it...BUT most alighnment shops would think you are crazy and I've seen some places that have no idea how to adjust properly.

If you try to do it yourself you will most likely going to screw up the alignment and will result in poor tire wear. The degrees are so small somtimes you can't see it with just looking.

If I were you I'd wiki and go to howstuffworks.com and research it..

It is going to be for a Nissan cube.

Currently have 18x8 +31F and + 27 rear and rubbed both front and backs with stock camber.

Got a new set of wheels coming in

and the offest is going to be +25F and +15 or +20 in the rear depending on if I use a spacer or not.

go to a "speed" shop or any tuneing shop that installs coilovers theyll most likely be able to do it for you, if you know someone that can do it the old fashion way (tie a level to your wheel and adjust the arms) but you need some knowledge for that. got my friend helping me do it that way.
