How do you translate stance to other languages?

[Mr.Popeki]

In french there is no word with the meaning of "stance".
I use the word "posé" in french but it describe only the height ride, it means "slammed"
but we use the terms "german look" to describe slammed car with stretch tires.

im surprised that european countries dont have a word for things like this, considering how prevalent it is over there.

I guess americans are just cooler

people here is a bit hesitant when you talk about "look German" in a Japanese or French cars, is often associated with VAG, BMW and Opel

Which BBS alloys are these? And what size are they?

I'd think it would be broken down in a descriptive phrase. We've somewhat spoiled ourselves by creating or re-purposing words to mean something socially different.

You could describe "stance" as "proper wheel fitment", yes?, "Montaje de la rueda adecuada" ... ? Or simply, "adecuado" perhaps, simply referring to it being "proper"?

I'm completely guessing, but it seems to me like a breakdown into simpler descriptive terms would be the best way about it.

STANCE IN ITALIAN:
camber negativo = Negative camber
macchina abbassata = lowered car
auto bassa = low car

Only thing I have heard used in Icelandic that is related to Stance in english is the icelandic word; "Sver" and sometimes Helsver, the hel is like an emphasis. Which means something is wide.

In Norway a lowered car with wide wheels and stretched tires would be considered a car with "stuk", more specifically, a car with a "German stuk", or "Tysker stuk" as we would pronounce it. Also, it's pronounced "stuuk" with emphasis on the "u", rather than "stuck".

This however, tells you nothing about the actual fitment of the car, only that it is styled in an atypical German manner, a.i wide euro-style wheels, lowered suspension and stretched tires and so on. Mexi-poke or flush fitment aside, a car with the characteristics mentioned above would be a car with German stuk.

I think this term originated in Sweden with the "Raggare" who customized old American cars into hot-rods and lead-sleds but i'm not 100% on that.. And i think the word "stuk" is more associated with rural Norway anyway..

[iloow]

Same here in the Netherlands... There isn't a typical dutch word for it..

And even "stance" they don't understand...

"Tief und breit" is only known in the german car scčne here...

Maybe "hoe kun je in hemelsnaam zo rijden" ?
