Title: Slanted wheels on these imports
Post by: Mr Lee on June 18, 2020, 03:36:28 PM
So, I've been seeing this more and more.  But this has to be the worst one.  This guys tires are only half on the road.  I can't even imagine what this car handles like or how fast he goes through tires.  I just don't get it.

Apparently NJ is late to the party, we had that trend ten plus years ago.... Haven't seen any like it in the last couple years.....

Don't the cars raise up and the wheels level out ? That's always what I thought :dunno:

I think it's broken... :barf:


You'd think the inside shoulder of the tire would be gone in a month.  :bricks:

Negative. He was actually driving around like this... if you can believe that. 
Personally I think it's ridiculous, but the curiosity is killing me.  I'd really like to see what this looks like underneath with the wheels off.  I'd imagine it takes quite a bit of tinkering to get the car to work like this with clearances and what not.  Can't imagine what it steers like. 
My nephew referred to this as "the camber cool kids". Haha

My understanding is that it allows larger tire/lower stance. The camber is like that, so the fenders don't rub. At least, that's my theory.

Oh to be different ....
Remember when people used to jack the rear 2+ feet !! That didn't help handling or the rear shock mounts or headlight adjustment LOL
