What's going on here, exactly? Are the treads of these wheels not fully touching the road or are the fenders making it look that way? Is this at all functional for driving, or do I just cruise up and down city streets @ 20mph looki...okay, I'm getting trolly now. Sorry!

This would be hella flush, poke, tuck, stance, blah, blah, blah, etc... I'm a big fan of these cars "look" but I could never go this crazy with my car as it is a DD.

It is form + function if anything...Negative camber isn't just a "form" adjustment...in this case it helps him do what he likes to do with his car...which apparently is be super dope and slide everywhere..and negative camber also helps him fit the wheels he wants so it looks good to his liking..I don't see a problem daily driving that either..its not THAT crazy low or anything...

No fender mods = not aggresive

people with frs/gt86/brz tend to think that they are ruining the car if they put aggressive wheels on it and lower it.....I have people begging me not to lower my car more because they think it will ruin the car...fools..they also think the only purpose of camber is to make room in your fenders..

I really can't tell the difference, i changed my wheels 2 weeks after car purchase. definitely more grip, as far as weight. the "sluggishness" is very unnoticeable.

Not sure if you would call them agressive but these wheels are my current favorite wheel for a normal body car

Ummm. No. This set-up is form over function.

Negative camber is a function. = negative camber improves grip when cornering. This is because it places the tire at a better angle to the road, transmitting the forces through the vertical plane of the tire rather than through a shear force across it. Another reason for negative camber is that a rubber tire tends to roll on itself while cornering. The inside edge of the contact patch would begin to lift off of the ground if the tire had zero camber, reducing the area of the contact patch. This effect is compensated for by applying negative camber, maximizing the contact patch area. Note that this is only true for the outside tire during the turn; the inside tire would benefit most from positive camber.

He likes form over function. You don't need to set-up any fr-s, 86 or BRZ to these specs to go out and drift.

Negative camber is the only way anyone could fit a 10" and 10.5" under the factory sheet metal. 6" of negative camber with offsets at +12 and +17 isn't functional for daily driving.

He is crazy low. These cars start life crazy low from the factory. That's kinda the point. We have a lower center of gravity than a Ferrari. All you need to do is get springs and voila, you are even more crazy low and entering supercar territory. He is only a couple inches off the ground. The only way to go lower would be bags and scraping.

This kinda helps prove the point -

And he wasn't sporting 6" of negative camber with the new fenders on.

Those fenders are not Rocket Bunny, They are called Todorokki I believe and will be available soon. Definitely my favorite 86!

Thanks. I must have still been thinking about their hot lava 86 that's rocking the RB kit.

[sevi21]

Those fenders are sex for sure. And do help support nasty wide rims =)
