Why do some tuned/custom cars have wheels pointed so far in?

Question

I do unterstand how giving the wheels tilt can provide better grip/traction in racing. What i dont get are the cars i see on the road that look like they have been squashed down. The wheels look like they are almost 45° to the road. Is there a function for this extreme tilt? Is it just a style thing, like low riders that scrape the ground?

It’s so you can drag your car on the ground but not constantly have the wheels rubbing against the fenders, and still be able to turn. It’s for funsies.
