Sort of like the truck guy's that lift their trucks, then add wheels with an insane amount of positive offset which makes the tires stick out of the wheel wells.
Or the "Donk" style of cars.
To each their own , but damn...some of these styles are just stupid...to me at least.
Out of all the donks are the worst, especially when they trash an old muscle car doing it.
The baja off road one locally I actually kinda like.
I think the VW guys started it...what are those? sauerkraut burners?
I look, because I like some of their wheels choices and overall style, but like anything, everything in moderation. The overly stretched tires and exposed rims and demon camber can be taken too far.
Yesterday I was driving my Cayman S, being tailed by a new Corolla which was slammed & had a ton of negative camber. He made more noise than I did, had a far more difficult time navigating speed humps, and you could see the uneven wear on his inside tread fro 30 feet....but....he also got more attention than anything on the road which I guess is the goal. Not sure it was the "right" attention though...
How is it done? To dial in so much negative camber you need an entirely new suspension. As far as looks, I can see why some may like it. It makes the car look more muscular. It is the equivalent of a muscle shirt. I wonder if it passes inspection though.
Besides, the (not so) bright idea behind this is to "allow sharper cornering" as negative camber increases stability. Race cars are allowed to have camber adjusted to don't remember exactly how much on the passenger side as they take left turns only. My first boss in Nashville had o2 of them pure stock race cars and I helped him to restore it after every race - and wrack it was in. Ballasting was also allowed up to 600 lbs.
