Spotted on campus today....

I’m happy because on one hand, these people are punished when they have to change tires as often as they change oil. But I’m also sad, as these people have enough money to do that, and I don’t.

from the looks of it, One good heel-kick could flatten a tire.

I bet if you kicked it hard enough, the jostle could flatten all 4 at once.

If they were all white and smaller and on a different car, I would actually like those wheels.

Just wait. You’ll see it in 9 months in need of body work, having mismatched wheels, and bald tires (at least where they actually TOUCH the pavement). I see it all too often.

it’d be fine if the rear wheels didn’t poke out so much

That just looks unsafe. How do people find a tire shop willing to do this? If I owned a tire shop I sure as hell wouldn’t let a customer leave on those wheels. Somehow I doubt that many stancebros have the means to mount their own tires, but I could be wrong.

Well that ride must suck and that can’t be very safe.

Love the title — I actually have a Mk4 Jetta Hot Wheels that was stepped on, and now has tucked rear wheels. It's the only car in the collection to suffer that fate, but I call it true-life accuracy.

Damn...a lot of these NJ campuses all look the same.

Every major area has a tuner/scene friendly shop. “Stancebro” money spends the same as soccer mom money.

I like stanced cars but stretched tires are just stupid.

I saw a flattened Hot Wheels driving around the other day. I immediately thought it broke.

You should give it to this guy so he can do “here’s my toy car/here’s my real car” #swag at all the #illest meets with other #dapper car folk.

It actually is a really clean Mk4. I don’t know why people like to publicly shit on another car culture. Yea, that has it’s place but this thing doesn’t even have a single sticker on it.

Stance life bro.

Your boy, BJR > adamftw
03/02/2016 at 10:47

I wasn’t shitting on it. I just think it looks like a stepped on hotwheels car, of which I had many in my boyhood days.

DrJohannVegas > Your boy, BJR
03/02/2016 at 10:48

So, this is like 3 steps further than the normal stancebro critique, but the wedge plates which even make camber possible on the FWD MK4 rear axle make me nervous as hell.

Your boy, BJR > DrJohannVegas
03/02/2016 at 10:49

That is an oddly specific complaint.

Yup. Pretty much.

Not if you spent years on the Vortex. (or did the VW thing in NJ.)

Outside of the heinous stance, those wheels are an abomination.

Stapleface > Your boy, BJR

I don’t get the stance and cambered culture at all, but it’s their car, their decision. Provided that it doesn’t cause a hazard to anyone else on the road.

I've always kind of wondered how the stretched tires stay on the wheel though. What's keeping the sidewall from curling back in?

Rico > Your boy, BJR

Lmao pure trash. It’s funny I was driving the other day with my GF and she saw a stanced VW hatchback with the wheels all cambered out and my girl starts laughing hysterically. I ask her what’s so funny and she says “That guys car looks like a freaking little turtle”, it didn’t help that it was green too but when I saw what car she was talking about I started laughing too. I now have to refer to these as little turtle cars.

Yeah, but soccer moms roll out of the shop on tires that aren’t going to blow off the rim if they hit a pothole. From a liability standpoint, and from a not-wanting-to-help-endanger-the-public standpoint, I wouldn’t touch it. I know there are owners out there who put cash above everything else, though.

Good thing they went with a quality tire, no wait..

Those wheels look like they belong on a 77 Trans Am, Amirite?

Re-reading my posts, they come off as unnecessarily negative toward stancers (?). So, sorry for any offense. I have no problem with stanccing in general as long as it’s not done sloppily, or unsafely. The amount of stretch on the tires pictured does not look safe at all.

My bird IS the word > Your boy, BJR
03/02/2016 at 11:44

I like those rims though. If only they were on a car that could fit them.

Can we kick the owner instead?

Milky > Master Cylinder
03/02/2016 at 12:14

You’re not wrong. I just have friends in that life and I’m assuming the business side of it is: “you know this shit doesn’t fit right and brought the tire/wheel in. Don’t sue me.”

Hell I’ve even had a shop turn me down to put 275's on a 9 inch rim because “Chrysler says no plus or minus tire sizes.” So yea some shops take it very seriously, but I just went to the shop next door and got it done no questions asked.

Because modding your car like that makes it much more likely to blow a tire or break the suspension off and put other people in danger?
