why I don't like stance

[Wh33lhop]

The whole point of stretching tires[in the real world] is for drifting.

Wrong.

[ak-]

205s are big tires?

Those can't be 205's ?

[CHIF8008]

Wrong.

your saying non of what i said is true?

[SacE30]

That is beautiful :-o

[Wh33lhop]

your saying non of what i said is true?

No, the part that I quoted as wrong is wrong.

[CHIF8008]

i didn't say it was ONLY for drifting. i merely mentioned that drifting is one of its applications. In my opinion the only and "whole point" that I would ever do it would be for drifting.

If you lived in cali I would offer to put you in your place. :p

I have no doubt you would

I'd tell you to make a road trip down here, but my car is apart. Oh, and I'm trying to get a set of wheels with chunky tires, imagine that!

It's shit like this r3v....

Yes...? :sad:

Function > form !

Was I wrong before? Is this the first Stance thread that has EVER occurred on r3v?

The whole point in streched tires is so you look like a clown, and other streched tire owners can see that you are keen for some arse streching.

its a mating call.

The only poking and rubber stretching should be done in the bedroom.

I don't understand the whole stanced thing, BUT SOME, and I mean a small percentage look ok. To me a car should be functional just as much as it looks good.

I feel the term "stance" is subjective to each individuals own definition. Personally "Stance" means (on a lowered car) we are looking at the ride height, wheel gap, and tire profile.

I don't like camber, it reminds me of walking around pretending my knees are stuck together. But i understand it comes with the territory of lowering your car. Just as long as its not like in the picture put up by OP im okay the more flush it is with the flow of the body the better.

Tire stretching, meh. I like a bit of curvature but if the wheel itself is sticking out beyond the sidewall... meh not for me.

something like this i approve.

Agreed. The op picture is much more akin to herrafrush.

However, for my own benefit, I usually automatically lump all discussions of "stance", "flush", "stretch", etc. into the same category, and try my best to just get on with my day.

Personally, I buy the tire I want, the wheel I want, put the suspension I want on it, and decide how compromised I want my alignment to be (dd/performance) and go.

That E34 posted above is a perfect example of how stanced cars should look. That in my book is doing it right for stance.

Way #106 to make yourself look like a fool on the internet...



Also, I know many members hate my car, but how do people feel about my "stance"? I'm totally changing my setup soon, but I'm curious...
