Default Body over rims look?

I am a new to all this vip styling. I wonder how do you acieve the look on the picture under(its from somebody here at cl) Do you have to "BAG" the car to have the body over the rim? Is it me or is the back wheel crooked? Will the rims hit the fenders? Sorry but I really have no clue

You can achieve the look with airbags or coilovers, or even a combination of both. But with coilovers, it wouldn't be very practical because you wouldn't be able to drive around at that height without destroying the bodykit.

The back wheel is crooked because of the negative camber you normally get when you lower the vehicle that much. The wheels on that GS do not hit the fender because the owner modified his fenders to fit the specs of the wheels. As long as you have the right wheel specs and the proper fender modifications to go with those specs, the wheels will not hit/rub the fenders.

Have any idea on how much the it costs to modify the fender so that the tires wont hit it? I think its called rolling the fenders.

it depends on where u go too, u can roll the fenders...cut them but it depends on the style you want. you want them to stick out? roll the fenders...you want it to look stock? u cut the inside.

Rolling the fenders does not make them stick out!


Pulling the fenders does that. Rolling the fenders only bends the small lip inside the fender up so there is more clearance.

Mine is far from nice and slammed. Hopefully, that'll change in due time.

mkorsu is correct about rolling/pulling.

If you bag .... The picture above is more than just a bagged car ... It has been fully measured to the fullest to make a flush look ...


This had to be measured from what style wheels and the size ect...
Lots of research ;p

and you normally don't want the wheel tucking for the VIP look, you want the rim flush with the fender...although a lot of VIP mags are headed toward the minitruck trend of "tucking"
