well im glad this thread has finally become more 'involved', as many can see 'flush' does vary and many ppl who described their flush do not say what is flush, the rim/wheel with the fender... BUT they fail to say what part of the wheel, the top? the bottom? they fail to take into account camber... simply confusing~

ALSO~ there are 'flush' with no/minimal drop... so is that 'weak flush'? what about flush due to PHAT tires that cant even tuck under the fender, thus the no/minimal drop... flush? imo that kind of flush is like when ppl here say 'nice stance' to someone dropped on fsports... thus begging this question, can someone be considered flush when only on fsports? not in my book...

Arrow ///My View

In order to get the standard of "flush" completely clarified, I think we first have to set some common agreed standards on the different levels of "Flush-ness" as some have already done.

For example:

BeyondFlush: - (Rim Poke's out beyond fender 10mm+, stretched tire hitting fender)
**picture example**
ExtremeFlush: - (Tire has a aggressive stretch and rim pokes out 1mm or 2mm)
**picture example**
MediumFlush: - (Just about right and almost perfect / Tire and Rim both intersect with eachother)
**picture example**
Normal Flush: - ( Not overly aggressive / Tire wheel tuck in behind fender)
**picture example**

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone has their own "idea" of flush, but unless we see detailed pictures of the different levels, no one will really understand it.

If I have time, I'll update with pictures later.
But, I shall leave that up to ya'll!

^^That's hellaflush to me too, but I do agree with llama, another 2mm or so will be on point.

rim out of the fender is hella flush. Lined up with the fender is flush and anything else is extreme and so on.

Again, it can mean all types of shiiiit. Given if he raised it up to driving or close to driving, maybe an inch higher from the rim itself, the poke would come out. That picture, that right there is the perfect fitment IMO. Great balance between flush and hellaflush. HELLAFLUSH to me, is when the car is lowered (rim to fender/quarter panel) and it's out 10mm+, 5mm is minimal as well... works for me!

This can turn into a big debate for the hardcore. What I would love to see is a stretch tire with the lips pokin' out from the tires, just enough for the bead to seat properly and then the rim slammed down on the fender/quarter. Given, its not drivable BUT on aim, that is sex!!! hum...

Subscribed, this will be interesting. I want to see a "Aggressive offset and tire stretch" thread like the 350z and g35 boyz.
