Hellaflush.

What's your opinion on "Hellaflush" wheels and rims?
Basically they get 9.5" rims, stretch 205 tires on, lower it, and run -5 camber to clear the fenders.

I think it's retarded. There's quite a few bimmers on here.

Not a fan, but to each his own. What I don't understand is why wheels that stick out past the fender are referred to as flush.

I think it looks ok if it's not extreme, but personally, I'm not willing to sacrifice the ride and handling characteristics of my car for the look.

Its the next level of fitment/stance which most of you arent ready for. Like it or not it will grow on you. You will say things like it "makes no sense".

It looks like it gives no room for actually driving the car on a real road.

Why are the rims sticking out farther than the tire, looks like the tires don't fit the rims? Is it style preference? Honest questions. I'm from houston.. it looks a little mexicano.
