I often hear about spacing your wheel so it is "flush" with your fender on this forum.
However, I do not really know what "flush" means exactly.
Below is my understanding, the outside of the wheel is lined up with the inner fender. Is that wat the optimum result is?
enlighten me please! thanks.

 

The closer the wheel is to the fender, the more flush it is.



But f*** flushness. Hellaflush that b*tch

 

Flush somehow lost its actual meaning at some point. Flush use to mean sits even with the fender. Now it seems to mean sticks out 10-30mm, stretched tires and a ridiculous amount of neg camber.

 

That's hellaflush yo

 

Exactly...everything at some point goes extreme just before the bubble bursts and becomes a mockery...

 

That's hellaflush sonnnnn

 

I wonder who started spacing wheels in the first place?
Wheels are well within the fenders for a reason right? protect from road rash perhaps?

Was track cars the first ones to space out their wheels? for stability? better handling?

I'm guessing N/A cars does it now just for the looks.

 

Spaced out wheels means a wider track which increases stability and handling. It also gives the illusion of a wider wheel, which is great on the g as it accentuates the rear fender flare for a more aggressive look. It is a race oriented look, as the goal of race cars is to fit as much tire under the wheel well as possible. However, it is also the current standard of automotive styling, 10 years ago there was really no such thing. So who can say what it will be in the future.

I personally dont understand the hellaflush thing, I think it looks terrible and compromises performance for aesthetics.

 

I guess that would be me LOL!

 

I, personally, like the "hella flush" stretch/poke look. Don't know if I'll ever do it on my G since it's a daily driver.

 

I didnt say I dont like the look. Just does not make much sense.

 

there are plenty of N/A cars that benefit from a wider stance performance wise , IMO it looks great on all cars. having the wheels flush, or in some cases hellaflush (i.e. vip style cars) changes the entire look of the car to a more aggressive pose and really makes the car pop.

 

Oni camber! Lol not a fan at all of oni camber

 

Would you guys suggest me getting my wheels offset without a drop and with stock 19in rims?

 

Nope, drop is a necessity for the spacers to look good
