the only reason those cars are sitting like that is because they all are bagged, except maybe the cream colored Q. And they have a good amount of negative camber..as the one i posted..you just cant see it..lol
i see your point but at least it doesn't "LOOK" as bad as the wheel sitting outside the fender well and adding so much camber just to make the stretched tire fit just inside the wheel well. Doesn't change the fact that they look better.

its not about fitting the tire, its about fitting the rim and tire, and there is one thing differnt in the 2, it is that they are able to be driven, the ones you posted arent driven like that for sure.
can't argue with that. That is just my taste, to me as far as looks go. Bags must be the way to go. To be honest with you, my s2000 has a lot of rear camber just to make them fit but i'm not running a stretched tire. I guess i just can't get used to the look of a really stretched tire.

im not a huge fan of extreme stretch, and crazy camber myself, but i am a fan of it all coming together for a certain style. Even tho i will have to put a 245 on my 10.5" wheel, and have a good bit of camber to make them fit my car.... With these cars, its all about pushing the body to the limit with the wheel width, some people like to bag it, and tuck the wheel. Some will get a 18x12 wheel and -20 camber and bag it, and make it fit. Just to be that guy..that did it..and push it to the limit. Like building a small displacement motor...when you can easily just get a bigger motor and make more power for less hassle.. You could easily put a smaller width on the car, but some prefer the extreme fitment. some dont like it..but when they all see it in person heads turn,stomachs flutter, and their pants get tight.
225 or bust
a prime example of air bagged battleship mode..

fuck thats nasty. I LOVE bags. and your examples are examples of fitment that i will never achieve or have the desire to achieve but this shit is horrible. Looks like a Honda. If I bag anything it WILL be flush while sitting and riding. Even if it means im not laying frame. A lot of guys have wheels protruding 30mm past the body and only live for hardparking. I HATE that. I'd like to ride low and park lower while closing a gap. From the state im in right now with my Lexus i could bag it and put a 10-15mm spacer on the rear and be flush but no where near as extreme as the Crowns and Presidents in the first post. To get good fitment you dont always have to go to those lengths guys. Stop segregating us folks. Black history month is almost upon us.
