a quick stance question

el presidente and i have been wrenching on my car for a total time of 26 hours the past couple weeks, it has been down since december, got some stuff coming out for it, sorry to tease, but i aint posting pics until its done...

anyway, my question is should i max camber out in the rear even though theirs a gap between the rim and quarterpanel or should i sit flush with the fender? if i max camber out ill probably end up buying new rims wayyyyyy later or just put spacers... if i sit flush im just gonna leave it that way, opinions?

leave as flush as possible. add camber for clearance. ifyou want the look of camber, add camber than add spacers

Cant wait to see what ever you come up with. I vote not to max it out unless your wheels require you to

Max camber and spacers. With the nissan suspension design, with more camber it will go lower.

damn, thats some quick replys, thats the thing if i max camber out, then i would buy new rims to accommodate the gap between the quarter panel and rim pushing the potential rim fitment to the max, but that wont be for awhile cuz id rather buy a kit, i like what pancakes thinks about the camber as well, i look at golfkids car thats why, idk... decisions decisions

What's the camber numbers if you're running flushed?

I'd say leave it flush if you're still getting round 2~3 degrees of camber.

run flush, increase camber to flush when you get new wheels.

Same thing I told him. I planned to set it up as flush at ride height for him. Then when he dumps it it tucks a bit. To me flush at ride height is where it's at.

Make it so as the wheel cambers in while being dropped it has maybe 2mm of clearence. It will never rub at drive height and you cant really get any more flush than that without rubbing. I have posted many rolling shots and layed out shots around and I have 1.3mm of clearence

I always thought people ran/maxed camber as a way to getting wide wheels to sit inside the fender well. If you can obtain a flush look without the camber look go fot it. Why not sit flush and extend the lifespan of your tires by a few miles, lol
