Stanced car
 

I’ve seen quite a few cars on the road with ‘stanced’ wheels, where the wheels stick out the fender with 35-45 degrees angle from vertical. Also seen quite a number of ppl doing this with frs/brz. Like the picture below.

I’ve never understood the purpose of doing this. Is it for a particular type of driving (drifting?). Or is it just purely to look a certain way? I assume it’s not for any performance as most of these cars drive slower than most cars, and as I drive by I can hear ‘clunks’ from the exhaust hitting uneven pavement.

I don’t mean to rip on ppl that do this as it’s their car and they can do what they want to it. Just trying to understand the Appeal of this. When I see this I always can’t help imagine Godzilla got drunk and stepped on it. Maybe it’s for the younger crowd and makes some fashion statement?

It's a mating ritual, one flat-bill seeking another.

It’s one of life’s great mysteries.

I believe people who go to that extreme with cambers are properly labelled fuccbois

LOL at the above answers...

But to give you a serious one, I assume the younger crowd thinks it's a way to be cool, unique, trendy, and attention-grabbing...The kind of stuff they enjoy seeing at parking lot meets and on Instagram. Definitely not for any hard driving.

When they say don't go full retard, they mean that.

remember when you were younger, your parents would say things like "don't listen to [music artist] for [reasons], and then you go with your friends to that musicians concert anyways?

this is the aged-person equivalent of those moments. much of car culture tells people that this trend is stupid, therefore certain people feel obligated to do it specifically because others didn't agree with it.

An expensive way to be stubborn.

At least those concerts are still just music. This is just straight up embarrassing. No one looks at those dudes and thinks “ooo he’s so edgy and rebellious!” They laugh and think he’s an idiot. They think they look cool while everyone is cringing and feeling kinda bad for them.

just like a nickelback concert. :popcorn:

LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH,
IT'S GOT AN FR-S THAT MAKES ME LAUGH

Well, you see, jiffyjhn, it all started back in the late 1940s. A bunch of guys were down at the corner garage/gas station and one of them brought a couple of cases of beer. One of the guys had a Mercury and wanted to put lowering blocks under the rear leaf springs and heat up the coil springs in the front to make it lower.

To give them enough room they cut the bump stops off the front and rear and then took a torch and heated up the rear leaf springs and front coil springs till they were flat.

After they consumed a couple more cases if beer, they decided that the top looked too tall so they chopped the top. Then after a quick trip down into Mexico to get the interior tuck-n-rolled and back for an Earl Scheib paint job, one had the perfect car - :happyanim:

Now days, the kids are trying to get their cars really low, but the modern day suspensions won't allow that much of a cut, so they have to camber out the wheels to get the oil pans to drag. They haven't figured how to chop the top - :iono:

I want to see more "Positive Stance"
