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?

Answer 1

Those are “stanced” vehicles and its purely for “form” rather than function.

Moderate increase to the camber angle do help performance on a track when you are driving at the limit. Stupidly extreme camber angles do not.
