Truth, I feel sorry for the car. It must be in real pain to be like that...

this stance, camber, skinny tires is the current fad. back when is was a teenager, in the mid 90's everyone wanted wide rims with wide tires and corrected camber.

to put it into perspective, back then it was baggy jeans. now all the cool guys wear girl jeans, oops i meant tight jeans. make sense right? wide tires = baggy jeans. skinny tires= tight jeans.

Don't really like the chamber look. Probably looks nice from the side..but i think it looks funny how the wheels are from the front and back. Love the calipers and like the bumper!

Ok, I'm gettin it. Now, aside from the bowed in tires and wheels how does this differ from the "HellaFlush" look? is it the camber that separates the two styles mostly?

most add negative camber to achieve hella flush. the wheels are poking out so far beyond the car that only adding neg camber will tuck the tires back under the fenders/quarter panels.

kinda like the import lowriders back in the 80's and 90s except adding extreme camber

this isnt hellaflush, or following the latest trend. this is in japan, and this is Oni-kyan, or "demon camber". this takes a lot of suspension work and is usually done on big body sedans in japan.
from clicking on the link itll show you this.
To get the best effect the offset of the wheels are carefully chosen to get the top outer edge of the rim exactly in line with the body work with the bottom outer edge sticking way outside the body of the car, sometimes at angles of 10 or even 15 degrees!
hella flush has poke, and is usually sitting around -5* to -6* roughly. It tends to be on modded mini vans and VIP cars. It has been around in japan for a while, just extremely rare to see here in the states. Just because its not your taste does not make it automatically a fad. or retarded.
they are 2 types of styles. leave it at that.
