I will never ever get that type of setup. With an engineering background it just blows me away that somebody would buy wide wheels and proceed to throw skinny tires on them with so much negative chamber that half of the tire is literally off the ground. The entire point of wide wheels is to fit wide rubber. The entire point of wide rubber is to increase grip. How does wide rubber increase grip? By increasing the size of the contact patch. This setup does the exact opposite of this.
I know it is just for looks but it looks ridiculous too. |
