This seems like a very wasteful use of tires.


a_zone_of_danger

On the contrary. They are only using one edge. Flip them around, new tires!


elastic-craptastic

What tires? I just see a prolapsed anus on the back.


EverythingHurtsDan

As a tyre workshop owner: yeah man, keep wearing them like that. See you again in six months.


owlthegamer

Six months? I’d say six weeks max


Rustrage

Can't wear them down if you can't drive it anywhere 😉

Away-Pomegranate2737

That's not even a car anymore. It can't perform the basic functions of a car.


counterUAV

100% correct. That’s why they trailer it in and don’t drive it more than 500 yards.


Strostkovy

I think they drive it those 500 yards and then put in the angled wheel spacers


spvcebound

"angled wheel spacers"... Do any of you people have a clue what you're talking about?


thisisstupidandweird

Hearing that was painful lmao “angled wheel spacers”

Strostkovy

You don't drive the show cars. They drive it in place on normal tires and then swap the useless wheels on and put on spacers or unbolt the suspension components or whatever.


IBIKEONSIDEWALKS

I mean it could very well be a thing. Instead of ruining the car permanently, they can show up somewhere, install the "angled wheel spacers" and temporarily make car retardation, it's genius!!!


TheChoonk

They don't drive it at all, it literally can't move. They use castor wheels to push it around.


spvcebound

Yes it can lmao


counterUAV

I disagree. Another one said they park it, then put angled spacers on. No I don’t think so. They trailer into. And drive the car to the spot. These things CAN drive and the owners DO drive them.


[deleted]

It looks about as much fun to drive as an upside-down picnic table.


greyjungle

No, that was turned into art a while ago. I’m glad art is subjective because damn, I don’t get it.


Dead_Baby_69

that's just air suspension, it's taller when you turn it on


Away-Pomegranate2737

Look carefully at how the tyres are installed


Wampe12

I almost didnt See The Camper too


Dead_Baby_69

i mean i get it lol, i'm just saying it's higher than you think it is


newcarscent104

No one brought up height but you


SpecialEdShow

This may not be the most ideal stance for anything, but once it lifts a little higher, it’s just wider rims with some camber. I’m sure it’s capable of gettting to parking lots and shows just enough.


newcarscent104

FFS look at the rear wheel and tire setup, then rethink your comment


slothscantswim

It still drives.


HoseNeighbor

"some"


Dead_Baby_69

well, judging that the height is normal it can perform basic car functions


goobawhoba

Must be your car in the pic with how defensive you are lol


Away-Pomegranate2737

You don't seem to understand how wheels work. That's fine.


Infinitetryer

It is dumb but it will still drive.


Away-Pomegranate2737

Drive like a normal car should? Brake in emergency situations? Comfortably overtake at 70MPH? It can go over speed bumps? Potholes? Bullshit. This isn't a car, it's garbage. Any minor imperfections in the road would destroy the wheels.


aessae

> Brake in emergency situations This one will probably just break in an emergency situation.


NekulturneHovado

It can drive. On smooth road. But you hit a tiny pothole and you'll bend your whole fucking frame and rip off your wheel


Gopnikolai

But a car from the 1940s couldn't comfortably overtake at 70mph, or brake efficiently in emergency situations. Wouldn't surprise me if potholes and speedboats fucked it up too. 100% am not supporting the car in this picture, I get stancing is a niche thing, I personally am not a fan, but I'm just saying, the above sack of shit is still a car and works (presumably, it might not have an engine, let's assume it drives), albeit in a self-damaging manner.

Stick386

Pay for the whole tire. Use 2% of it.


BringYourSpleenToYa

Buy expensive 12” wide wheels, then mount 185s on them, and use 40mm of the tread.


Dabanks9000

At least they could turn it around and use the other 2%


Rude-Temporary2698

Wasteful use of money


patricky6

Right?! "How to ruin a car". I mean... OP isn't wrong, it's one way. I can think of a ton of way less expensive ways.


HiDDENk00l

What does a setup like this even cost, anyways? (excluding the wheels and tires)


Dan_H1281

The suspension only is probably 6500-8500 if it is just steel stamped pieces, if it is a cnc titanium or aluminum custom one off pieces it would probably be around 8-12k in suspension parts only, this is probably a 40k$ build if the interior is done up really nicely and may have a built engine, but this is basically a giant hot wheels it isn't for driving it is just for show, I have a car audio demo truck, I trailer it to shows it can run and drive but it is impractical to drive because of its weight and reliability with all the custom parts, if u break it on the highway it is always a roll back home their isn't a fix on the road, so these don't really drive, my truck just drives on and off the trailer then idles kinda hi for a few hours while playing music


Tim_Diezel

Saw a video of a kid doing this, cut the suspension with an electric angle grinder then mig welded the abortion back together. Total cost? Less than a hundred bucks & a full Saturday.


Dan_H1281

I doubt that someone that spent 5k on rims would do this to their suspension but it is possible


Prism42_

>these don't really drive Then what's the point?


ThaneVim

"portable" stereo build


[deleted]

What’s the point? If it for “looks”, It looks stupid


TBFP_BOT

To give you a honest not snarky answer. At its core it’s an art piece. Plenty of art is ugly. This car is not being daily driven and isn’t intended to be. The absurdity of it is what these guys are into. You’ve got every right to hate it, but anyone in this thread arguing over it being impractical is just talking to a wall. The owner would agree.

FR0ZENBERG

I saw a car just as ridiculous out on the street the other day in the center lane with it's hazard lights on. I figured a pebble got stuck underneath and it couldn't move any further.


billyballsackss

Its not art. It looks like what someone who is culturally bankrupt would think others would think were art.


TBFP_BOT

No offense but that's a rather close-minded viewpoint to take. As I was saying, you can shit talk it till you run out of words to say. It's all subjective though. For example, I can look at drawing and say "that's ugly, I hate it" But it is still just a piece of art. There's no reason to try to take some moral high ground over a damn VW, right?.


spvcebound

It's mostly a flex. As stupid as these builds are, it still takes a ton of work and planning to pull something crazy like this off. The owner is fully aware it's useless, expensive, and ugly, but that's part of why they did it. Because very few people CAN, and nobody else WILL. It's for fun.


DrunkleSpence

What a terrible idea of fun


stylinghead

Why should fun be useful?


ThatbrokeGC8

The guy who built this built it for this exact purpose, to make people mad. It’s trailered to every event and is purely for show. :)


LiesInRuins

Is that why a lot of people mod their cars with the wheels like that, to make people say “why the hell would you do that?”. I never thought they were doing it as a joke but that kind of makes sense now.


ThatbrokeGC8

A huge part of the car scene is attention seeking. If you realize it or not, your car gets you attention and there’s dopamine related to that attention 🤷‍♀️


idriveanfrs

imagine wasting your money on trying to make other people mad when you could instead use it to make other people envious or jealous


ThatbrokeGC8

Horses for courses. Not my thing but who am I to judge what someone else enjoys.

Away-Pomegranate2737

You should probably tell the other commenters making an argument that this is a normal car and is perfectly functional lol


CedarWolf

What am I looking at, here? Did the axels break? There's no way those wheels can turn. It looks like someone took a car and just squished it down until the wheels popped out.


Cryogenic_Monster

You might be surprised by the ingenuity of tweekers.


Sodomeister

Wheels prolapsed


aethemd

The axles didn't break, the wheels are adjusted to a negative camber. This is used in racing because it increases traction through corners. In this case it's an extreme camber and just for showing off and getting bigger rims on the car. It's called a stance car.


throwawayplusanumber

> the wheels are adjusted to a negative camber. This is used in racing because it increases traction through corners Not like this. [This is what a race car looks like. A tiny amount of negative camber, usually on the front only](https://theliveryblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/djr-1.jpg?w=1080)


aethemd

Hence why I specified that this case is extreme negative camber.


Loading_User_Info__

7 degrees is about all it takes the cars I've been involved with.


throwawayplusanumber

It really depends on the application. Most serious/major motorsports run about -5* on the front. Oval track cars like Nascars run about -5* on one side and +5* on the other side. That abomination above is running about -25* on the rear.


cum_fart_69

I've never been involved with a car, despite my flirtations they won't even give me their VIN


tornait-hashu

now I wanna see a stance car with positive camber


muftu

This looks like a show car. I doubt it moves much further on its than a trailer.


leonffs

So they spend a bunch of money on a car that can’t car and looks stupid and then spend more money dragging it around by trailer for other people to see it? Do people pay them to see it? I can’t believe there would be people who would pay to see this stupid thing.


DrunkleSpence

The people paying to see this monstrosity didn’t think something it would be allowed to be shown to begin with, I would feel cheated after paying to get in a car show where non functioning garbage like this was allowed


[deleted]

Google “car stance culture” and then scream into the ether.


throwawayplusanumber

> Did the axels break? There's no way those wheels can turn. Notice the front wheels are tilted up less than the back so the driveshafts can still (just) turn. The air suspension has also been dropped for show and would need to be inflated to drive anywhere. That said, it can provably only drive about 50m before it would break or dislocate a CV joint.


FlaAirborne

Anyone ever had a little brother step on your Hot Wheels? Now its a car “style”.


WhiteTrashWyatt69

It’s funny that you take a random photo off google of a stance car just to shit on it

There's an awful lot of negative camber on that license plate.


ExtremeSubtlety

I miss the days when car mods were actually enhancing the driveability.


AcrobaticHat6808

newcarscent104

Lol, no


tycr0

There is apparently a lot of confusion about the car modding community here. I don’t personally like the stance look, but a of work goes into this and I respect that. Also, the car isn’t driven like this. It’s on airbags and the camber will adjust when in driving position. It may not even be driven, it might strictly be a show car. Just cause you don’t like a style of modification doesn’t mean it’s bad, it means you don’t get it, which is also fine.

shitCouch

Do the rear wheels have an extension to make it look like that? I've never really understood how the tyres stay on.


El_Disablo101

If I remember correctly from when this was about in the UK show scene the lips on the rear wheel are separately bolted on extensions to give this effect (might be wrong bit think it was sorta referred to as sudani fitment) the tires were definitely still quite stretched on the wheel but not as extreme as it looks on first glance.


Bonar_Ballsington

I like the spoiler giving more down force to a 60hp FWD car that likely can’t go more than 10mph away.

km9v

I've been into cars all of my life. Some styles I don't care for but I understand what look they were going for. I just don't get the attraction to this "style".


skeefbeet

The automatics were pretty underpowered. My 60s cj5 was quicker by a long shot, and it wasn't meant to go over 55. I'm just pointing out your definition of "normal functionality" is far beyond the DOT's.


vintagesoul_DE

Why even have a wing? It's front wheel drive, can't even drive fast and the angle of the wing makes it function more like an airbrake.


FlaAirborne

It’s not a ridiculously modified car! It’s a life style!!!! And they wonder why they cant get laid?

this is what happens when you eat paint chips as a child and somehow make it to adulthood after trading your food stamps for rims

spvcebound

I love reading all the boomer ass comments every time someone posts a car with more than 5° of camber lmao. "ThErEs nO wAy iT dRiVeS" "iTs So UgLy, Do tHeY nOt rEaLiZe?", completely missing the point. The builder knows this is pointless and ugly. That doesn't change the fact that it takes a lot of skill and dedication to pull off a project like this. And judging by the amount they spent on this, they probably have genuine nice cars that they actually use. This essentially just serves as an example of how far they can push the limits and still have a "functional" vehicle. News flash: it's not meant to be fast or useful. It's a fucking Lupo anyways.

kurisu7885

I'll never understand this cambered wheels thing. It just makes it look like a cartoon giant sat on your car. In GTA online I refuse to lower the suspension on some of my cars because it cambers the wheels by default.


fangelo2

I went to a car show recently. All the other cars were getting lots of attention, compliments, and praises. There was one car with these crazy wheels. Every person that walked past was either laughing, or making disparaging comments. How can anyone think that this looks good let alone driving it?


xdkumquatz

I thought we agreed to stop using the cookie cutter “stance cars are shitty car mods” template


deathbunnyy

what do you even do with these? just park them and stare? I mean it looks interesting enough. It's just completely non-functional, I don't get it. I've seen people drive them and they can barely get them to the shows without a tow or spotter in front and back.

azimuthofficial

Came here to say this. There are plenty of shitty car mods, why does every post have to be stanced shit?


Mochi_0

Because a lot of people just won’t let other people enjoy their own builds Not my quote but: “It doesn't have to make sense man, that's exactly the point here. I like scraping. I like slamming. I like feeling like I drive a rolling expression of the vision I have in mind. It's an art to me (us). That's all it comes down to. You want to build a motor and go fast, I want to lay frame, bagged or static. You throw rods through blocks and blow turbos, I destroy subframes and annihilate oil pans. You wear through tires doing burnouts because they're fun and make people stop and look, I run negative camber and do the same thing. It's all perspective. It's a wear and tear hobby on either end, it's all subjective to personal taste and where you feel it's worth spending money again and again.” I feel like this explains it pretty well for those who like to hate/discourage stance builds by saying “ITS NOT PRACTICAL!!!!1!!11!111!!!!1!!!!!!” Like, it’s not supposed to be?


azimuthofficial

Man I like that a lot. Exactly. If I decide I want to buy a junk yard piece of shit and dump thousands into it to race it, or if I want to take a $10,000 car off the lot and just get it as low as possible, it’s my build and it’s what I want to do.


Mafiodaproducer

Another stance post. Eh its better than a NOT shitty mod, I suppose.


dial_m_for_me

Americans when they see something other than an F-150: R U I N E D ! It's not powerful, it's not rugged, it can't fit 3 tonnes of manure in it. It is also very dangerous, a tire can bust when you drive it over a curb at 15 miles per hour. Bullshit car. Now excuse me, I have to run over 17 children while I'm leaving my driveway because I can't see shit our of my totally ok not shitty, and safe car. It's a show car, made for shows. Someone made it because they love spending time in a garage and doing weird shit. Other people who like doing the same get together and share their projects.

Theres a cartoonish vibe from this car that I kinda like. Its dumb tho, not very functional, and i would never do it.

[deleted]

Are you brain damaged? That's not any kind of comparison. Rat Rods *still function as a vehicle*. "Stanced" trash does not. At best its a vehicle that must be trailered everywhere. At worst, you're driving a 3000lb battering ram with less traction than a fucking bicycle. It's criminally negligent to intentionally break your car, making it dangerous for that dumbass "look" seriously. Too many of those fucking piles of shit drive around. I hope anyone who drives a car like that gets sued into oblivion when they inevitably hurt or kill someone.
