Side skirts and Tires

If you have stock tires, you could go to a 215/85/16, similar in height within about 1/2in or so, although it may be tough to find in a non-LT tire.

Side skirts, you could use lawn edging for that.

Side Air Bag

I don't know how Nissan or VW are, but in Fords, if you remove one airbag from the system, it will set a light and the airbags won't deploy in the event of an accident.
