There is alot of talk about 'flush' here on CL, the thing about being flush is: its a combination of your drop/camber/rims size/rim offset/tire size, EVERYTHING is interconnected. Also~ everyones definition of 'flush' varies~ what part is tucked? tires? rims?, what part is poke? tires? rims?, what part sits flush with fenders? tires? rims?...

I would like to hear (n see w/pics) everyones definition of what they think 'being flush' means.

So here is my definition of flush: Tires tucked when low and TOP of rim poke from fenders, this way cars behind me can fully see the entire lip of the rim sticking out from the fender *from top to bottom* without seeing any bit of the tire poking from the top of the fender area.

*the drop, yes i can go lower but then the top of rim wont poke*


*the poke*




(i take no credit for this, my car looks the way it does due to REV-01 and FINALLY i'm satisfied with my stance)

 

Judd, I think yours is about perfect for my taste (I'd probably even go with slightly little less 'poke' if it were mine).

I know the current trend is more camber, tucked etc but that's not my thing unless you're going to be tracking your car and using it other than for looks.

Looks great!

 

For me, When people use the word flush in everyday life, it means even, no lip, just flat. so imo flush would be when the wheel's rim/lip/face is right striaght down at the end of the fenders,

being Hellaflush (since its a madeup word haha) , i'd say it'd have to be poking out a bit

 

Judd, when I think of flush, I think of toilet.

 

hehe this is what i get for always being OT in everyone elses threads Toto toilets are da mos besuss

 

function > form, in the context of this discussion.

take that for whatever it should mean.

 

yours id say is flush..but i wouldnt say hellaflush.lol

 

The thought crossed my mind too.

 

yeah flush and hella flush are different....

signaljp , calvin , johhnyboy

those guys are hella flush while the most of us are jus flush with a tiny poke lol


and then there are those that arent even near normal flush and need 20mm spacers all around badly hahaha

 

i agree with L-S-D, there is a difference between flush and HellaFlush. its not for everyone. i do get tired of explaining to people that see my car in person why me wheels are they way they are and why my tires are like that.

its on personal preference. iv been in the flush game since my 350z days. i had a 350z before my IS and even then, not many new what flush was ( in the states ). in the beginning, people didnt understand at the time. now its big craze, everyone is doing whatever they can to be HellaFlush.

also what OP said, it all ties in together, wheel size, OFFSET, tire size and stance.

 

tiny poke looks the best.

 

moar pics less talk!

Here's my definition on my old Z. Being low enough that there is no wheel gap and slight camber in the rear to suck the wheel in. (NO RUBBING FTW) I could have gone lower in these pics but i was testing the damper on the coils i had just installed

 

calviin and johhnyboy have sickass rides..in other words hellaflush!

 

Gone Lower?? Ohh you must have little wheels on the front bumper... lmao, bro that ish is SLAMMED!! AND DEF. FLUSH!!

 

llama, i like the flushness of your ride
