Thanks Decafe...I must say...although your car is more hardcore than I'd ever go...it IS one of the ones that comes to mind as badazz on this site too.

John...you're welcome.

It's actually called SBC "Super Brilliant Coat" and is more like a black chrome then polished. And yes they fit fine and I'm not running any spacers.

when you cut the wheel, the suspension raises the car up and that allows the tires to pass under the fender without hitting. Although, i wouldn't test that theory as low as you are and then going fast over a bump.

looks cool, but doesn't look very comfortably driveable.

^ This is true, but as soon as you hit a bump with your wheels turned, it's going to scrape. Especially if you haven't modded your fenders.

Some 20/25mm spacers would have your car sitting perfect.

Camber alone won't help you sit flush. Without spacers your wheels will always be sunk.

John, in some instances, fixing the camber with upper camber arms will, but in the application shown above, it doesn't look like it can bring it out enough. Then again, would have to see a shot from the back or front to see how far out the bottom edge of the rim is sitting.

I was under the impression that people add negative camber to wheels that are already sitting flush to prevent rubbing. I don't see how adding camber to an existing sunken wheel is going to make it sit flush. Sure you could adjust the camber to make the top of the wheel closer to the fender (positive camber), but then the bottom edge of the rim will just end up being even more sunk in.

Well, look at it this way...
when you drop a car. The bottom of the rim will usually be sitting at the fender or past it...but then looks hella sunk as you're dropped and slammed and running -6 camber...but once you bring the top part out to match the bottom, it'll appear to be flush since the FACE of the wheel will be much more visible and closer to the fender up top. Trust me, this happened for me...I brought my camber back and the rims looked a lot more "flush"...

and trust me, I ain't no Stance guru...I'm actually a baby possum in the land of stance gurus.
