Hella Flush

[rtune]

So I read this blog called Hellaflush that loves cars whose wheels are absolutely flush without a gnats whisker between rim or tire and guard. Lots of pictures.

Anyway just wondering.. a newb question. How does that even work? Must they have rock hard zero travel suspension or do the wheels camber up enough to just slide past the guards, or they only drive on glass smooth roads and never do 3 point turns faster than 1 mph .. or what?

hard ass coilovers...

i run rims outside the guards, low as on 8/6 greddy's and have near flat camber on the rears and you cant fit a finger between my tyres and guards.

i never scrub and my car sees track, street, hills etc...

with harder coils i could go closer... but meh

Hella Flush FTMFW!

Or Air Bag Suspension.

airbags is cheating.

Wheels will also travel slightly inwards instead of up & down which helps them not scrub on the guard.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

bags and camber are cheating imho....

flat or close to on the rears and stretched tyres ftw

[msports180]

I have relativley soft coilovers on my 34 and they dont scrub on the guards at all, and there is very little room between the guard and tyre.

The only time's the front rubs is if im going up a kerb on full lock, but only minor. I have a 235 on a 9.5" rim though.

Fitment makes a car look wider and tougher, who care's about the handling lol

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you can have fitment and handling.... wasn't cheap tho

+ it is all about the Offset sizing too!

Shakotan / Hippari Tire / Oni-kyan = Key to Hella Flush.

[HEKT1K]

too far. that just looks silly

[alr33x]

camber isnt cheating its a must if you are going to achieve hellaflush if your rims just bolt on and sit level wth the body thats not exactly "hellaflush"

[dori34]

car has to be heaps low for it to work.

that white 350z is insane
