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

209 views

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 a style thing and it severely damages the tires, lol. They do that so that they can get the car as low as possible to the ground, lower than the height of the tires, even. It’s as impractical as it sounds, but that’s called having the car “dumped” or “slammed”. You can find videos of these people getting their cars stuck on the smallest bump in the road.
