if you're concerned about it, go have your car measured at an alignment shop. that way you know what your car is at for camber and then can make an informed decision on adding the camber bolts/shims.

thats only if the tire you buy is a realy low offset. versa should be good wit 35 to 45 offset even though there is a person that posted up on here very recently that put rota grids on his car wit no camber or spacers and i must say the look sick ill post the link

a camber kit is used to correct the negative camber that comes with lowering a car, which will reduce caber wear on the tires.

**UNLESS**
you have a low offset wheel and are using the negative camber to tuck the tire inside the fender, which will wear out tires fast.
