Here is my car. Although I didn't stretch the tires or space out the rims I do like and respect cars with "stance". Stance is always a sore subject on mustang forums but the stance guys do put a lot of effort into the exterior appearance and the finer details of there cars just like us mustang owners do.

Awesome car! What color is that?
 
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.



:))))))

you took the words out of my mouth

except my fox doesn't make power hahah
 
well then that would make you one of very few. i've talked to a lot of folks who have done this on their mustangs, vettes, subarus, imports, etc and they all say the same thing: yeah i have to drive it carefully but its a sacrifice for the look. or they have another suspension/wheel/tire setup they use for actual driving and the "stanced" one just for a show. either way, the car doesn't perform as set up.

not to mention i have heard *plenty* of stories about all the ghetto "clearancing" people do to run this kinda stuff. notching a-arms, running big spacers, bizarre steering and suspension geometry, trimming fender lips with a sawzall... and of course the related stories about car wrecks, cut tires, bent wheels, cracked wheels, and bad driving manners in turning and handling anything less than perfect roads. running so much camber on a tire that's not being fit properly to a suspension thats compromised to ghetto engineered steering geometry doesn't seem like a good idea on paper, and its even worse that people would drive something like that in real life.

besides, common sense tells you all you need to know about performance when you see wheel and tire setups like these. where does the wheel go when the suspension flexes? where does the tire go when the steering wheel turns?

im not a big fan of the hella flush/stanced fade thats becoming even more popular

dont get me wrong i love the slammed look

you need to understand all of these jap cars are IRS so when you hit bumps and the susp. compressed it creates more neg camber simply tucking the wheel and tire into the wheel well..

doing this with a live axle stang is going to be completly different
 
i think stance is super important...still dialing mine in where i want it. swapping out my non-adjustable MM rcla for XD adjustable rclas....rolling my fenders...then waiting for my new wheels to come in.

then once my gaskets come in i can put my motor back together and drive it before winter gets here lol.

as long as your not notching your a-arms for clearance etc...do what you like...i love seeing different cars and ppls personal touches on them...otherwise everyone would be driving the same thing.

dont....

just buy coilovers
 
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.

Does anyone know the owner of this car's screen name? Id like to ask him a question about his wheels.
