or perhaps in reverse?

I can go lower if I want too. I just need some negative camber. My tires don't rub that much on turns right now. I can get out of my driveway easily. I have two entrances/exits. The other one is less of an angle and I can go out forwards. The one in the pictures above I can only go in reverse out of. But I need to make an angle going in reverse too because my rear skirt will scrape bad. It was real bouncy on the grass and got out fine, just took my time. People don't honk at me they look at me like WTF are you doing, cut me off, or almost let me get a 97-99 trunk conversion. There is this one driveway at Stop and Shop at a traffic light. Everyone cuts me off when I'm going straight. They think I'm turning left and letting them go. I don't know...It happens all the time. Sideways does help!!!!!!!!!!!!

what size of rims are those and what kind

They are 18" x 8" TSW Vortexs. I paid $840 for wheels and tires. They were used but basically brand new. I think they do come in 17", but they will be too small for a 2001 Maxima. Check eBay or Town Fair Tire.

I need my 17" x 7" wheels back to go lower. How quickly will negative camber chew up tires?

Not much, excessive toe will be worse. Just max those camber plates out and have fun.

I told my girlfriend I was choppen 18" Bladez, but she didn't get it. I have a sit down tractor to use anyway. HEHE

Yup, the orange corners looked too much like Halloween and my friends didn't like them. I want to go to the TurnPike this weekend.

Now I have a project for this weekend!!! I'll be low again. I will still keep an eye on the tires though.

it's a joke.

Thanks B-DAWG. See you at the Pike this weekend???

I haven't replaced any components yet. I lowered my car a little over a year ago. I did get some new stuff like ball joints and stuff about two years ago.

I'm guessing you have some nice and smooth roads there. Around here, I'm scared to even go down an inch. Potholes and everything are pretty brutal.
Btw, nice picture story. I was scared for you for a second... wait, no I wasn't.

Cuz you live in CT where potholes aren't a problem and the streets are paved w/ gold.

I scrape all the time with no lip. I'm just waiting for the day my bumper falls off so that I have an excuse to buy a new one and have my whole car painted.
