    Same car, new wheels...

    I really don't mind the whole "stance" thing right up until people start running absurd camber so they can get 10.5" wide wheels under a car that doesn't need them and never will. The ones that just add a bunch of neg camber for the sake of doing it.

    My goal for my 9000 Aero is kind of "functionally flush". Lower it, bring the new wheels out so they're even with the fenders, while still being able to track it.

    Kids these days!. Back in my day stanking would not have been tolerated! These young people have no idea how good they have it!

    I can remember on many occasions, instead of stankring we would go out and fight a war. And when we weren't doing that we were working a 22 hour day, in the snow, with a kid on our back and with barbed wire for shoes.

    This staunching needs to stop. Also young people need manners, and quieter voices, and less time in front of the telefax.

    As a Spitfire driver, I can assure you that such camber angles can be throughly functional and appropriate, even on a street car. Not because of a 'look', but to get max G's on freeway ramps.

    Functionless, but damned if it doesn't look amazing. Wow.

    I only half agree. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all, and I think the flush thing can certainly look very good, but not when it's pushed to that extreme. It looks like the rear wheel is one decent bump away from scraping the paint off the cleanly polished rear fender.

    no wait, I got it now why i don't like that car. It's because, in my mind, the hellaflush aesthetic is about making the car look clean and smooth, like the air rushing by would just slip over the sides of the body and the wheels without any disturbance. If the wheels stick out of the body like in that NSX, it ruins the visual flow. In my mind.

    The only kind of stance I can dig. Built to be functional, fast, and thats it.

    Speed is beautiful, poorly modified suspension is not.

    I hate stretched tires and wheels with no lip so much. Combining the two makes it even worse
