Someone explain silly looking camber to me

I think the term probably arose from someone not understanding what the word "flush" means so in a way, that answers my question. (these people are retards)

Sorry, "retards" isn't nice. If you want to drive around on your wacky clown-car 45 degree angled wheels, more power to you.

I'm kinda disappointed. I was really hoping there was a functional use for those wacky clowncamber wheels so I could go "oh ok, it looks retarded but it's great for autocross" or something.

Oh well.

Those cambers actually act like propellers to the wheels so he can hoovers through the swamp

Well, we all know that a BIT of camber 1-3 degrees helps handling, maybe 30 degrees means this boat of a car can uturn on a damn dime, LOL!!!

I mean, the contact patch is about as narrow as a bicycle's tire

The first pic isn’t hella flush. It’s sitting on stupid stance. So does that corolla it went from mild to extreme. Read or take a look here About | Stance:Nation - Form > Function.

Lol. I took a trip to atco for the nissan event this year with a few friends... one of the g35's i was with is into this stupid camber.. on the way home he blew a tire.. cracked the rim in. 3 points. (For the second time.) He blows through tires everyother week and its destroyed the car. This hellaflush crap is an on going joke imo.

"Welcome to Stance:Nation. We hope that these next few Questions/Answers can give you a better idea of what this site is about and how we look at things. It’s not for everyone, but to us it’s a lifestyle."

Of getting new tires every 3000 miles, and we bitch can moan about how expensive tires are but we love riding low on our STUPID cars, and we can't afford a better car because we spend all our money on tires... Hell, we can't even afford matching tail lights, LOL


With that, IBTL, lol

I mean as silly as all of this is, I really genuinely wanted to know the answer so I don't think the thread needs to be locked.
