well im glad this thread has finally become more 'involved', as many can see 'flush' does vary and many ppl who described their flush do not say what is flush, the rim/wheel with the fender... BUT they fail to say what part of the wheel, the top? the bottom? they fail to take into account camber... simply confusing~
ALSO~ there are 'flush' with no/minimal drop... so is that 'weak flush'? what about flush due to PHAT tires that cant even tuck under the fender, thus the no/minimal drop... flush? imo that kind of flush is like when ppl here say 'nice stance' to someone dropped on fsports... thus begging this question, can someone be considered flush when only on fsports? not in my book...

///My View
In order to get the standard of "flush" completely clarified, I think we first have to set some common agreed standards on the different levels of "Flush-ness" as some have already done.
For example:
BeyondFlush: - (Rim Poke's out beyond fender 10mm+, stretched tire hitting fender)
**picture example**
ExtremeFlush: - (Tire has a aggressive stretch and rim pokes out 1mm or 2mm)
**picture example**
MediumFlush: - (Just about right and almost perfect / Tire and Rim both intersect with eachother)
**picture example**
Normal Flush: - ( Not overly aggressive / Tire wheel tuck in behind fender)
**picture example**
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone has their own "idea" of flush, but unless we see detailed pictures of the different levels, no one will really understand it.
If I have time, I'll update with pictures later.
But, I shall leave that up to ya'll!

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.

This can turn into a big debate for the hardcore. What I would love to see is a stretch tire with the lips pokin' out from the tires, just enough for the bead to seat properly and then the rim slammed down on the fender/quarter. Given, its not drivable BUT on aim, that is sex!!! hum...
Subscribed, this will be interesting. I want to see a "Aggressive offset and tire stretch" thread like the 350z and g35 boyz.
