... KINDA.
could you not put this: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/ZZ21246 on a car rim?
With that, you could get CRAZY camber, and still actually still have grip.... right?
Not saying I want to be all hellatarded.... so this is an exercise in "wouldn't it work?"
I swear i've actually seen someone do this... or maybe it was one of the morons on ClubRoadster stretching an R888 so much it looked exactly like that.
HELLAFLUSH
In reply to Swank Force One:
It's pronounced Muffin Top
Bingo.
Muffin Top fitment.
You'd have more grip than a regular car tire with crazy camber, but not as much as a regular car tire in a sane alignment. Also it would still wear out just as fast.
Will a motorcycle tire have enough weight bearing capability?
Hell, you can get bike tires up to 300+ these days. I imagine they'd be...interesting on a car.
Everything has been done before:
This is Milliken's camber car, as in "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" Milliken.
I could not imagine the arm strength needed to turn that wheel more than a couple of degrees
all these years, i thought it was pronounced "herra frush"...

If you look, the KIA is right at the contact patch, I'm sure the scrub radius is only a few mm. The scrub radius would obviously increase through the turn, but depending on the trail and caster, it could be made very manageable.
One indicator of how crazy this setup is: Milliken put THAT much adjustiblity on the inboard points.
There's a Fiat 500 (original, vintage, classic, etc) running around town, with scooter tires. It's got normal camber, though.
Ill stick with the tried and tru "fire makes it better" aproach to herrfrush. That and speedbumps.
never saw hella flush until i moved out to las vegas.
Saw a S2000 with 45 degree camber and I thought I was on drugs
I too subscribe to the "kill it with fire" solution, but one thing I've been thinking about is that this kinda form over function stuff reminds me of sci-fi movies. They always show kinda '80-ish cars with weird styling like wheels are funny angles and cardboard painted like it is part of the body making them look futuristic.
Maybe this is how it starts. We should take the computers out while we still have a chance.

I've only seen a few here in Michigan, probably because of the quality of roads we have. I never felt the urge to "kill it with fire" because I figure the compressed spine and bloody urine that results from driving the car more than a block would be punishment enough.
