What is your big deal with XXR? I'd say they line right up there with the best OEM reps made. I've put mine through some hell and they are great.

Camber is simply the angle of the wheel. What you're referring to is tire stretch, or what the ricers refer to it as 'poke'. I agree that it is stupid to stretch a small tire on wider wheels. If anything I'd rather have a wider tire on skinnier rims. However I do like the look of it on this car, although if it here me I'd do it a little less extreme.


No... I'm saying the camber is stupid looking too

I don't understand all this camber and/tire stretching stuff. On small scale I like it.

I'd much rather just have a clean flush look.

Only those with camber understand it's symbol in the automotive world.

Come to the car meats over here and say your car has camber and you'll get slapped.

Mustang owners don't have camber :look:

what are you maxxed out at? I'm at 8 degrees which is the most the stock k-member and MM forward offset a-arms allow lol.

Welcome back to the world of well-handling cars, lol.
I'll never understand the camber look. Even that F1 car has a SLIGHT camber, not this crap some kids are pulling. I'm all for some "styling" things, but not if it affects performance. That's what I hate about ricers, this "form over function" crap.

Well the F1 car has negative camber in the front tires for cornering, you can see the rear doesn't have much or any for grip.

In seriousness, his setup is messed up and he's redoing it over the winter. It's still hilarious how much camber it has though.
