I saw today what I think was a Subaru BRZ. Very pretty car (for a
sedan) but what made it unusual were the wheels. All 4 were splayed.
Isn't that the word when the bottoms of the wheels are farther from
center than the tops. I'm not talking about camber or caster or what
ever. These wheels looked like the whole ccar had been dropped 20 feet
and some of the parts holding the wheels in place had broken.
The driver said they were supposed to be like this, but the pictures
I've found on line have wheels like all the other cars.
This is a joint development with Toyota that calls it the 86 when they sell/sold it.
Okay, it is camber, negative camber.

Still this one was so extreme, and all 4 wheels.

Yep, extreme negative camber and, in terms of handling, it's all
negative - no benefit.
Stancing of that order is all about the look.
Personally, to me it looks utterly ridiculous. The look of a wanker!
Modern wide low profile radial tyres work best when camber is close to
zero. IOW, keep all of the tread flat on the road. Minimises tyre wear
too.

You are just like the British simpleton "Commander Kinsey" with no
knowledge in Physics (or anything else).
All Formula One race cars have negative camber on all four tires.
The centrifugal force created when a race car is cornering will try to
flip the race car over. The centrifugal force acts on the centre of
gravity of the race car, through the point at the centre of the tyres on
the inner side of the turn, and the angle of the line connecting the
centre of the tyres to the point of contact with the road surface.
For normal cars with zero camber, the centre of the tyres are vertically
(90 degrees) above the road surface. If you can move that point of road >contact point farther out, that will make it more difficult for the >centrifugal force to flip the race car.
For simple minded Brits, just imagine when someone pushes you from the
side when you are standing at attention (both legs closed). It won't
take much to push you over. Now imagine someone pushes you from the side
when you are standing with your legs four feet apart. That will be very >difficult to push you over from the side.

You have a simple mind.

I absolutely do not want one. I guess I'm not part of the target market because
I don't see any pros, only cons.
Another thing I'm starting to see are vehicles that are lifted several feet in
the front, and not at all in the rear. The driver and passengers are staring at
the sky, which seems to be a safety issue.

I've seen examples on the street that are even more extreme than the most extreme examples in the article at that link. You can easily hide a whole vehicle in the blind spot, let alone a motorcyclist or pedestrian.

I saw today what I think was a Subaru BRZ. Very pretty car (for a
sedan) but what made it unusual were the wheels. All 4 were splayed. >>>>> Isn't that the word when the bottoms of the wheels are farther from

Others have mentioned it, but it may have gotten lost in the

The word you're looking for is stance. Do a Google image search for
stanced cars
and you'll see what it's about.

I want one.
also:Â https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stance_(vehicle)
I absolutely do not want one. I guess I'm not part of the target
market because
I don't see any pros, only cons.
I'm with you! It not only looks stupid, it *is* stupid.
Another thing I'm starting to see are vehicles that are lifted
several feet in
the front, and not at all in the rear. The driver and passengers are
staring at
the sky, which seems to be a safety issue.

I've seen examples on the street that are even more extreme than the
most
extreme examples in the article at that link. You can easily hide a
whole
vehicle in the blind spot, let alone a motorcyclist or pedestrian.

I wonder how often you have to replace the tires. If you have them
remounted to use the other side, does that mark you as a poser?

I hope no one thought I really wanted one. Except maybe to park outside
my house and use it to look cool and attract girls that walk by.

You have no money even for food. You are on a subsistence diet of wild

think it is stupid, stupid.

That's nice. My friend Larry had a Corvair. Only the early ones were dangerous.
And it has vent windows. My uncle called them No-Draft, but I used to
open them so far they pointed forward (not all will do that) and blew
the breeze right on me. I miss that.

Any girl that would be attracted to a stanced car, or any fancy car for
that matter, is not the kind of girl I would want in my life.

My mother had a Corvair. Two of them, in fact. I can't remember if the white one replaced the blue one or vice versa.

I would have thought a poser is someone who poses for pictures and a
poseur, with the stress on the second syllable, is someone who pretends
to be what he's not.

I wonder how often you have to replace the

OK, real question:Â Do those idiots swap sides when the
inner edge wears sufficiently?
Well, you would need to swap the tyre on the rim first, for
a start. And then, even if the tyre was swapped, it still
wouldn't be legal as the tread requires a *minimum depth*
right across the entire tread and any mileage done with a
ridiculous camber like those I've seen will definitely wear
the one shoulder right off. Camber angles like that defy logic.

I would have thought a poser is someone who poses for

someone who pretends

That's pretty much the way we see it on this side of the

You and I are on the same side of the Pacific;Â poser and

definition is in reality also the same thing.

I've done about the same but I wasn't worried about being chased by the

Okay, it is camber, negative camber.

Still this one was so extreme, and all 4 wheels.
All Formula One race cars have negative camber on all four tires.

Yes, the topic is street cars, but the people are using street cars to
emulate the effect and look race cars. Are you stupid or something, or
just plain stupid?

Why are you so negative, so insulting to someone who didn't say a
negative word to you or to us?
people get the mod is to emulate the effect and look of a race car.
You behave like you can't figure it out. Are you stupid or something, or
just plain stupid?

And even if I
didn't/couldn't, why are you so insulting? If you have indigestion,
take a TUMS. Every time you act like this, you lose credibility even
when you're behaving properly. Ask yourself why you call yourself a
wannabe.
