rear camber issues

i just moved to calgary from winnipeg, and before I start driving on the main highways, i wanna fix my rear camber issue, both of my wheels are tilted towards the middle like this / \

this is on stock height as well :S what would be my options on fixing this? would a proper lowering kit fix this?

That's called negative camber. Lowering it will only make it worse. I don't know any companies that make a rear camber kit. However if your stock, it's normal. If you do get the wheels as straight as you want, you will have major rubbing issues, specially with those carriage wheels.

i just did a search, and someone recommended a SPC 350z Rear Camber Arm kit.
i've never had any experiences for camber kits,

Im not bashing you so dont take this the wrong way, but if you got rid of those wheels you might have some better luck.

Go to suspension, then camber kit.

that would be SKEP

EDIT , no not skep , someone else..

also if you bagg it you will need to roll the fenders , in some case you may need to cut out the wheel weld.

So basically any of the newer (03+) 350Z camber arms will work on an 04 Maxima?

I've got some serious cupping going on with my new tires. Very bad in the rear. I need to do something about it ASAP.

New update for an old post i have ksport coilovers on my 07 max and the rear camber was off and i managed to find this company and they informed me that they called spc directing for permission to list this part under maxima altima fitment because they where being told by previous customers that the 350z kit fit the max aswell. Hope this helps anyone else out in the future.

This is what I am using for rear camber kit, and its about $65 cheaper than the ones you listed.

I avoid Ichiba when I can, seen to many stories about them. I haven't installed them yet, but I have Battle Version camber arms and SPC toe bolts, both from the 350z. I really need to install these and get an alignment...

Of course, you find the worst possible image of negative camber. If I could do -3 or -4. I would be more than happy.

I have no problem with negative camber, I'm running -3 currently, I have the ichiba camber arms and they dont fell sturdy. I'm planning on upgrading.

Thanks. No they aren't 5-lug universal, 5x114.3 with a 72.6 center bore. They're discontinued, but try searching for Work Euroline DH step lip. There's plenty of wheels that look similar, Leon Hardiritt Ritter, Amistad Dish, and SSR Vienna to name a few. There's a few sets of Eurolines on vrwheels.com, but in 19" and they'll need to be refinished (not to say that mine are in perfect condition).
