isn't neg camber meant to be helpful on the front only though?

I like wide negative offset wheels too.. but i don't like the stretched tyres much.. much prefer straight vertical sidewalls

Sorry, I cant dig the hella flush look.

Wide wheel & tyre packages, should look like this

are you kidding me? that looks appalling.

As i said before the wheels where put on and the car was dumped just for that day!

also im not a huge fan of massive stretch eather but you cant find tyres to fit the rims good so i thought stuff it i will see how much stretch i can get.

and to tell you the truth it was almost more hassle than its was worth.

i got stuck on my driveway trying to get out,
i got stuck on a speed bump (got off it with planks of woods)
plowed the grass at the event

the car stood out
but couldnt drive it far or fast.

Even had to watch out for dips in the road!

anyway

WANTSOM I have replaced the rear pads and i need to book it in to set up the coilovers for racing, i have some underbody braces on order, and hoping to get a VR4 intercooler soon and plum it up , then a tune and fun!!!!!!!!!

i actually happen to have a vr4 intercooler for sale.. *hint hint* :D

yeah don't like this either.. it's still form over function.. you wouldn't go drag racing with tyres as thin as those..

it looks like something straight out of a Hot 4s mag, I bet it's complete with tacky white or light tan vinyl re-trimmed interior and a million sub woofers everywhere.

No, it actually made top 20 at Summernats.

It has JP Fab 3/4 chassis
4 link rear end
1200h/p Cosmo Block 20B Triple Rotor (By John Blanch)
GT47
R154 Box
Fabricated 9"
Smoothed Engine Bay
One piece sheet metal undercarriage

And Mamun, I wouldnt race with those tyres on either, but I can find the pic I have on Tristain Ockers, 7 sec blown capri, street car, driving in Thirlmere.

Too bad Sublime's an ugly hunk of shit. Well built and all, but it's still an autosalon-spec shitbox.

This is properly done wide, low offset and stretch, none of that hella-aids homosexuality:

And let's not forget Fonzy's TA22:

Who cares it looks ugly as fuck. It may be the fastest thing on the planet but I wouldn't be proud of owning it!

Its called bosozoku, the style originated from japan as a way to rebel against japanese mainstream society.

form over function?
bullshit its the other way round. im with aaron.
That silvia is a sick machine, change the colour or wheel style to anything you want but under the aesthetics its a good effort, if it had 16" simmons and was painted an old school colour you guys would be drooling over it.

they swap those 22's for a 31x12" slick and go racing, not only pose on the lawn.
the reason theyre tucked under is because its been mini tubbed, another function of having the need for fat rubber to get power down.
and at least he has suspension travel.

Why are there so many haters on this forum?
