How do you get such negative camber?

Post by **Haitian_King** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 11:29 am

Ok. Now that we have a section, maybe I'll be able to learn exactly how these wildly cambered wheels are mounted and secured. How well do they hold up tilted like that? G50's are roughly 2 tons.

If there are any available, can someone post a picture of a negatively cambered wheels from the inside?

Are there any issues with traction?

Sorry for posting this again, but I realized that I had posted this in the picture sticky.

haitian,

BAsically they are maximizing camber the the stock adjustment as well as using rear upper control rods and toe rods. some of the truly ridiculous fitment is accomplished by shortening suspension components in the back. The broke look is a little crazy though in my humble opinion.

Those who roll there cars like this probably are not concerned about traction since there is probably no more than 20% of the tire's traditional contact patch actually touching the road.

I know I don't have any pics from the inside but I'll definitely dip into my collection and see if I can find some extreme fitment.

yes there are issues with a lot of aspects but it is for looks only and should not be attempted on a daily driver unless your name is Grant

yeah, honestly, if you dont have a firm grasp on how camber affects wheel placement etc on a nissan, dont even attempt iti have modified all of my arms (traction, toe, camber) be it shorter, or other ways, along iwth alot of other stuff.

plus i wore through sidewalls every few monthstread was perfect.

I can't wait for someone to figure out there is a market for special vip tyres with tread on the sidewalls lol

Yeah, I'm not looking to do all that. Is it possible to hit highway speeds with camber like that? How safe is it?

I'm just trying to understand and gain more knowledge.

keep in mind that grant has air too. so the extreme look is somewhat adjustable but still definitely extreme.

105+ MPH like that? Golly. That's fast. Brave man.

Say you wear the sidewall out, can you flip the tire over and use the side that was up in the air?

It's easier to buy new tire and change them, rather than flip it around?

That is a little too extreme for my taste, I would like a little camber, like owinbush. But that first pic is nuts.

Grant, the USAF is paying you too much. Your vehicles are always just too goddam sexy, though.

So who makes them? DAD, Garson, or JP? Just kidding Grant. You could add whatever you wanted and still make my G50 look like garbage.

I agree, how does that car even drive the small amount it is designed too??

Im glad I found this part of the forum. All these cars look awesome, its got me thinking what cars that I see yould look good with it done to them.

And Yokota, or Grant (if i may?) your car, pre stripped, looked awesome!

i dunno if Van can run around at that height, but i could in my car.

It's not too bad if you have bags. That's why I do not want to dump mine without bags.
