I do it for several reasons.

1. I like the challenge.
2. I like being unique, and I don't care if even most people think it's dumb.
3. It stands out, a true attention grabber.

Yeah it can be a form of bragging rights, but I personally don't do it for that reason. My main reason is because I like doing things different and most of the time out of reach or unthinkable. The dirty looks, excessive tire wear, damage to the exhaust and body, etc are all cons. Some can live with those cons and they are outweighed by the pros. Others, the reverse is true. It depends on what you're doing what with your car too. Personally I'm going for the VIP look and although not found in all VIP inspired cars, negative camber to provide a low and wide look is quite common. Fits what I'm going for.

I personally LOVE it when people stare and break their neck or do the double look. Sometimes it's a "holy sh*t that's crazy", sometimes it's a thumbs up, and sometimes it's a ....



I can live with the hate, because as long as you got some love, you're doing something right. But really, in the end, it's all personal preference. Some like it, some love it, some adore it, some appreciate it, some hate it to death. Can't please everyone.

I wish i could tuck my 19s, but wit my stretch tire and mostly my incline into the garage i cant go any lower. Just got my car back from alignment after installing my spl camber kits and they almost got me to zero on the camber. Holy poke. Ill get pics up asap. Guess i should of told em to leave atleast -1.5. lol

I would think you'd be rubbing if they added all of that positive camber.

Nope no rubbin. I had to raise the rear a bit since i took out the donut and put in my other gramlight in the trunk as my spare and added the hitch. Lookin at the side profile i really have no wheel gap but with my pull and stretch, it looks like there is some. My big problem is my driveway is on an incline and i have the 1.5 lip into the garage. I already have 2 2x12s that i have to use to get in the garage and and my cats still scrape slightly
