Am I the only one that thinks that wheel fitment looks retarded? That doesn't even look safe to drive on....

good to see you again yuki lol.

the camber def. isn't for everyone but thats the style. it may be a lot of camber to some but actually somewhat conservative if you look at the more extreme vip cars.

as for driving it around, its been a week and all is good so far lol

The camber isn't so bad comparatively, but the fact that it's running all that camber and not only do the wheels start to get sunk at the height it's at, but also the car is pretty high body wise due to the subtle kit. If the car was lowered more, which I assume it could be, the wheels would just get more and more sunk, and the camber would get retarded.

I really want to like the car, but I can't with the ridiculous camber on stock fenders. The straight front and rear shots especially just ruin it for me.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it would have been infinitely better with pulled or radius'd fenders.

yea i can see what your saying. at this height the wheel is right on the fender. when it's lower (think it can go lower another 1.5" maybe slightly more) then yea the wheels begin to tuck.

this is parked height btw. driving height is higher and camber isn't quite as extreme. with radius'd(?) fenders yea it would be nice but the owner didn't wanna do that so thats the way it is.
