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?
