Thread: Gosh Darn hellaflush fails

I guess dumb is the common theme among some of the people we are seeing in some of the threads today.

And people say body kits are bad. I rather see a car with a body kit than that ridiculous camber.

Exactly, so u end up with unevenly worn tires with a ton of pressure on the inside side wall which is dangerous if you have a blow out on the highway...smh i just don't get it

Yup I was just commenting in another thread about the pedobear about how it is just like neon lights, body kits, NOS stickers and hellaflush, utterly useless dumbass trends....having said that, I'd rather rock the pedobear/NOS stickers, neon lights and a body kit, before I put those ridiculous looking wrong sized tire/wheel combos w/ -15deg camber lol

WHY GOD?????????


Personally not only is it dangerous but it looks like complete SHIT!!!!!

See, now I can def deal with this:


and this:


and even this:



BUT WHAT IN GODS NAME IS THIS???????????????

Ahhhhahaha, what fools.

This is how it should be.

I can't see the pic you guys posted cuz I'm at work, but if I'm reading the rest of the thread right your guys concerns are the low profile tires?? or is it a combination of the low prof tires and the lowered stance?

theres a differnece between omni-camber and hellaflush...... form over function imo.

No that is incorrect, it's a combination of excess negative camber AND a wider wheel than tire. For example a 8" wide rim with a 205 width tire and -6* camber.

in the interest of learning...

camber is drop yes? the car is lowered to some extent?? -6 camber is lower the wheels like 6 degrees or something?

No, camber is the degree from perpendicular to the ground. If 0* camber forms a right angle from the tire to the ground, negative camber would create an obtuse angle as the negative camber increases

Here's my buddies GT-s carolla.

Or another example, a 9" wide rim with a 190" tire and -10* camber. lolol

Better yet, here's a picture.

Gracias senior ^.^

Interesting stuff, too bad I can't see pics I'll check back when i get home

Exactly, one of those moments

when does the camber become dangerous?

The functional purpose of camber is to allow your outside tire to "roll" with your chassis and be flat with the pavement as you turn. This gives the tire more surface contact and better grip while turning. If the camber is more than the car can turn over, it doesn't help but hurts your grip because only the inside of the tire is gripping the pavement instead of the whole tire.

Hope I explained that correctly.

So obviously if you camber isn't right your wheels rub the fenders when you turn?
