See plenty of these about still I don't get it





I know we all like different things but there's no logic to it, the grip level must be hugely reduced, safety has to be a concern because the tyre will be trying to pull away from the bead so a little touch could cause tyre to literally pop off, and it looks utterly shit

What are the benefits of it ? Am I missing something because I don't get it at all

 

I think it's largely a VW thing, don't see it so much now though as a few years ago.
but yes, it does look shit and I can't see the point.

 

It has always been my pet hate!! Tyres that are to narrow for the wheel look crap and also the risk of damaging the side of the wheel when parking are hugely increased!!

 

I wondered if there was any reason I'm unaware off, I guess not lol

 

would that get flagged up as unsafe on an mot test?
the rim sticking past the widest part of the wheel arch is illegal in itself isn't it?

 

The reason, although it looks crap and is dangerous, I think it’s to fit wider rims and still have clearance.

i think it’s then kicked off as a trend, so even rims that would fit had stretched tyres.

 

back in my day, it was all about trying to get the widest possible tyres on a rim


where did it all go wrong

 

Daft VAG botters. Its bloody dangerous imo.

 

That still is my day.... The more rubber I can get down on the road the better

 

To be fair I think everyone is having a go now, the jap lads love an odd mod look at the pop riveted skyline for starters

The ford scene isn’t safe either

 

It's because they're retarded. It's just that simple....like them

 

Same as this, daft camber and stretch, fookin car gets stuck on the smallest of kerbs.

 

thats noodle doodle.

 

Ffs I've seen it all now

 

That poor fiesta. The youth of today ha ha.

 

i think or im sure the trend to do it on lupos and that there are bendn the back axels to get the rims on the camber not my cup of t like and it will just eat insides off tyres but each to there own lol
