Default how come

Also maybe this will help some people understand what i am asking. how come some cars look like this f __--- r instead of like the blackone on top that looks straight like this f ---- r. Could it be the tires or the way its lowered?

wheel width and offset also play an important factor in what the tire looks like on the wheel, and where the wheel sits in relation to the fenderwell...

Are you talking about the way the wheel sits compared to the fender? Or the way the tire sits compared to the wheel?

our cars naturally ride a little higher in the back... also, slight difference in tire height is enough to make the difference... my car rides 1/4" higher in the back than the front, just because... slight weight differences can be enough to make it ride just a little higher in the back as well, removal of the spare tire, less gas in the tank...

our cars naturally look like they are angled down in the front just because of the lines in the body... plus with a picture taken from the right angle, will look a lot taller in the back...

Default thx alot

question sorry to bother so much but having wider rims like 18x10s will make that deep dish look or what. in other words the wider the rim is the more of a deep dish effect. is this true?

depends on the design of the wheel... there are some wheels that are very wide with little to no dish at all, however, there are narrower wheels with lots of dish...

Though I've never dealt with them, a sponsor of this site D2 Autosport has posted some pretty good deals on wheel/tire packages that are fitted for the SC's...
