i like the wheels, but i think that much camber is overboard, doesnt make effective use of the tirepatch at that angle. Looks like it is slammed on hydrolics.

I'm guessing it's just for "looks." Successful drifting doesn't need that much camber. Hell, I bet it makes it harder with such an angle.

I'm all about the subjectiveness of a car's looks, but both of those cars have to be the dumbest things I've ever seen.

There's no way in hell you can tell me that there's any benefit to that setup. If it's for a show car, that's one thing, but someone driving that on the street blows my mind.

I still can't understand how that looks good to someone, but that goes back to the whole subjectivity thing.

I bet people on the street always ask those guys what's wrong with their wheels. :D

That much negative camber (S13) is for show. It's not really functional.

a little negative camber helps improve the tires contact patch during high speed turns. ie drifting.

rco8786 that car is p-doube-i-m-p. talk about squat.

and 180sx gangsta?? gangsta is kpg10 style. lol

I'm not about huge amounts of negative camber or slammed vehicles. Looks tacky to meet. I like a clean, functional car.

you think after they wear the one side of the tires, they could take the rims off and turn the tire around. so the good tread would be touching the ground and the worn part of the tires would be up in the the air. im not sayingthat looks good or anything, because it looks like stupid. i was just curious bc if he/she did change the tires around like that, then it would take him 2 months on a tire instead of 1

i dont know about that. but it would be expensive to unmount tires and then mount them again. but then again, like said earlier, they are show cars and there for most likely not driven ever.
