Default A little bit of negative camber never hurt anyone.

Apparently someone forgot to tell this guy that rolling the fenders is an option, or just taking them off could work even better.

looks perfect. the fenders are already rolled and pulled anyway. obviously he doesn't drive like that, he's on air and lifts it when he needs to drive. but when parked, it looks wicked!

You do realize that he doesn't drive the car with that much camber right.

Correct. I don't see how he could drive it, either. The universal joints on the rear driveshafts allow some wheel camber tilt and up/down motion, but not that much. In front, the steering gear wouldn't fit properly either.

Its a certain style, it might an eyesore to us, but there are people in Japan who appreciate it.
