I know that some like to stretch tires so they fit under the fender , but this is pushing it a little. LOL

A bunch of nonsense, IMO. It's hard to believe that car owners actually spend time and money on this kind of stuff.

2nd one is not that bad, that's pretty sick fitment. As for the first one, I personally think that's ugly as hell :thumbdown:

thanks teach. you're right i didn't know that red car has air suspension, but i've seen plenty of vip and in particular the 'stretched tire' look to know that it's dangerous (particularly with the ridiculous camber some people setup), i think police should clamp down hard on it, not to mention very unattractive to me.

Is that pictures taken in Germany?

Some German car enthusiasts enjoy doing this to their cars. It's just a matter of taste. I don't really consider it any uglier than the VIP vans from Japan, and 24' rims on Caprices and low riders we have here.

love the 2nd car, just fits perfectly but the first one is a bit much for my taste, but I can appreciate the hard work and planning that went into it.
