Flushness looks way better when the car is very low too. Negative camber is personal taste. A car can look good super low with 0 camber too. I personally like a little negative camber on my car.

I'd have to say...
Flush is the rim of the wheel to the body fender.
HellaFlush, you stretch your tires on the rim, for rim poke ALSO having the rim poke away from the fender.
And no matter how low on a stock bodied car, it will camber when car is lowered, no matter what! And thus having a camber kit, making it more negative, can make you go more aggressive fitment ( as in width and/or offsets ) on the car.
CAR SHOULD BE LOWERED in my idea to be flush to body.
So flush, to sum it up. Rim aligned nicely to the body fender.
And hellaflush, Rim poke outside of the body fender, which is the new stance style.
And for example,
without fender roll or pull, for flush 19X8.5 +22 would be flush fronts, and 19X9.5 +22 would be flush. Just my example!
With fender roll and/or pull, for flush add that 5-8mm to that 19X8.5 +22 and for the rear you can do a 10.5 width with +22 offset. Just a simple example! For a slight poke, very slight.

And here's the secret to HellaFlush-ing on the IS! A definite fender roll/pull. So far out!
19X9.5 +teens (1X) would be a hellaflush front.
19X10.5
And with +low teens
must have camber to make this work, so car's gotta be slammed! Or really low for more camber, or simply a camber kit.

For sure rubbing action. And if the front is too low, you'll bend them fenders, to prevent that... do a custom modified front camber kit.

And the secret is out! Tires? PM me

Have a nice day.

Oh in my opinion of HELLAFLUSH on CL are...
Retrospect!!! My man.
Signal_jp, nicely done! Moderate width with very low teens offsets! Props!
Johnnyboy, the founder!! Haha my idol.
dangy, esp with the new teal vs-xx's! so sick! probably the lowest with aggressive fitment.
VIS250P and datplayaz, are just nicely flush.
And Phil888 and ROB IS250, for flush 20s!
the guys on coilovers!
And jonjon83, even though he's on air, he's flush on 20s.

Flush, hellaflush, poke and hellapoke are completely 3 different setups. If your flush its easier to Slam your ride and hellaflush can be slam but looks better with a lot of camber. Poke is all about the perfect tuck and going as low as you can and lining up the fenders. Hellapoke is all about stretching the tires and how low you can be without scraping your lips while driving. Btw I'm Hellapoke and I'm loving it without running any spacers

Royal flush is the best flush, the other flush w/stretched tires and rims poking out is low performance and marginal safety.

I never heard of a look called "poke". I just thought poke came while being flush; because to be flush you gotta stretch your tires creating "poke."
But "hellapoke" just sounds kinda retarded..

I already sold the LE a couple of months ago to a fellow member on CL, there's someone else selling the same rim with the same spec in the wheel classified.
