Are you Stanced, Stretched, Slammed, Fender Flush? Post pics

I like the look for my other car just not sure about it on my Foxbody. I have True Forged Victorys in 18x8.5 and 18x10 sitting in the basement. Just need to finish my car up and buy tires.
I'd like to see if anyone has their car "stanced"
If you don't like the look I understand just don't muddy up the picture thread about it please.

Post em up!

Hell no. Huge rims with undersized tire that stick outside the fenderwell? That has stupid and dangerous all in one package. Super camber on the rear, again stupid and dangerous and no traction! Unlike most of those tuner trend vehicles my car actually makes power. I need more than the corner of my tire touching the ground. My car is lowered coilovers on all four corners. Is it low? yes. Is it in the weeds scraping the ground, no.

I agree with zapp109, not two things that should be mixed as I have yet to see one that was able to pull that look off. I haven't even seen many pics of Mustangs that way. Even on stanceworks there are only a couple Mustangs.

I'd do the True Forged Victorys in 18x8.5 and 18x10 , but I'd also use some tires that actually fit & had good traction (not stretched). If you just have to get the really low look, then spend some cash, put the car on air, & enjoy it every time that you park. Just don't mess up the functionality of your car because a few other people are following a trend. This is going to be dead in a year or two, something else will take it's place, & then what will you do with your stanced out Mustang that everyone is hating on?

to start off, "stance" is not anything new.... Stance is fully defined by the car, purpose and era. I'm so tired of everyone hating on "stanced" cars when your definition of stance just varies from what mine may be.

Any way here are some of my sorta flush semi-stanced coupe
I got coilovers up front. Gonna be ordering rear coilovers soon.

this look amazing. i might lower the front some based on your other pictures but this looks so mean.

a slight stretch and a slight poke is good on a nice wide rim. but i seen cars that have way too much stretch and poke and it looks absolutley horrible and dangerous.

this is a good example of how it should be done. this has a perfect flush rim with fender and the tire has a slight stretch and there is no negative camber. perfect fitment in my eyes. others may differ. too each there own

I've run stretched tires on multiple sets of wheels and never had an issue. this built fox had incredible stance btw.

I like my setup;)

Old wheels

New wheels

I really like the look of the new wheels, I think you nailed it on fitment.

Ugh that car is disgusting!!! Especially from behind...

this is a hella flush stang from a member in here. this is what the thread starter is talking about. this fitment is not very functional but looks really cool. hence why the people that do these things perfer form or over function.

Anyone else notice how his exhaust piping looks alot like an 03/04 cobra's??? Does anyone have any info on this? i kinda like it.
he has 03/04 IRS. and i really like the look but i think he could have gone with a little more rubber.

Here's mine.

i think this looks great, and is an excellent example of "stance" on a mustang.

i really hate this trend. other than the fact that it looks ridiculous to have tires stretched on wheels that are too wide, it's also dangerous. and you have like 0.5" of suspension travel. and you have to drive the car like its made of glass so you don't bend or crack a wheel through those stupid rubber band tires. i mean, if the point of having a performance car is that it, yknow, performs . . . why ruin that?

my car is low. but i can still do everything with it that the car is supposed to do. it goes, stops, turns, absorbs bumps, i can drive it hard and not worry about a wheel chewing through a fender or hitting an a-arm. the black fox in the picture a few posts up runs an 18x10" wide front wheel for the sake of that look. i don't need to tell anyone how bad that is for any kind of real performance on a stock-bodied, stock suspension fox, do i?

to each their own, but as i said, i really hate this trend.

Come on man really... I have never broke a wheel, flattened a tire or chewed through a fender on these jacked up Colorado roads. I drive my car like I stole it. It goes, stops, turns, absorbs bumps just like it did before only better because my car is done the right way with tubular k member, coilovers, sn95 spindles, sn95 brakes, rolled fenders, upper and lower LCA's etc...and I have done a few foxes this way. So if you don't like the looks that's fine, but don't assume all lowered/stanced cars ride like #### and are somehow dangerous because that's simply not true!

You mean to tell me in the past 10 years my fox has been setup like this I could've been injured or killed?! Lol

Ill get back to you guys when I have the right wheels on it

Lol, no where did I mention "hellaflush" in the thread title. Hellaflush is stupid just like old 62 Impala's with 13" rims that stuck out 6" from the fender, but to each their own.

This thread was ment to have people show off their lowered, flushed Mustang set ups and tell us about the specs.

if so then great. many people use the words "stanced" and "flushed" and "stretched" and "poked" etc etc to describe slightly different aspects of the same general idea.

i like a car with a good stance as much as most people here. but the extremes to which people are taking it as this trend develops are worrisome.

yeah, that looks gorgeous, and seeing the quality of the rest of the build, i would think the suspension and structural components needed to run that setup are in place. its a badass ride! whose is it??

and like you said, notice the lack of crazy camber or 1/2" of wheel poking past the tire etc. props to that guy :)
