What does "Stanced" mean to you?

ill update this post when i get home, and have access to flickr, i have about a dozen wheel setups that contradict this statement

Youre contradicting yourself then. If flush is the only thing precise, then tucked cant be. Keep in mind tucked im reffering to right now is not tucked tire with poking/flush wheels.

Buy an e30. Aquire random, bad offset wheels. Lets say 17x7et30 Cut springs in half. Tucking. Precise? not remotely. Horrible fitment.

Im actually agreeing with you on preciseness of flush here, im not sure why you want to contradict that.


Poke and sunken wheels are not as precise. However, alot of knowledge goes into pulling it off correctly, as with flush


However, that "precision" of flush doesnt make it the right way, or make poke wrong.

Its inherently subjective, as is style itself.

What i meant isnt tucking tire with flush wheels, i meant tucking completely. Whell included. Just genereally unflush

id venture to say that this is the minority now
Pretty much any multipiece wheel i sell is more or less built to spec within the offered sizes.

in the quote i quoted
Man if i could get on my flickr right now this thread woudl be so much better

i can dig this too. problem is what i see way more often is someone who just wanted wheels this wide with that amount of lip or whatever and threw em on (or at least that's what it looks like).

i still don't agree that poke is as precise as flush though. take the jetta just posted for example. that is only a few mm of poke (some would even call that flush) but because flush is flush it's obvious that it's not flush. now if we were talking 1" of poke those mm (i.e. 20mm of poke vs. 25mm) would be indestinguishable.

I agree with your first point completely. Simply buying some wide wheels and slapping them on the car without calculating offsets, widths, and tire sizes for that specific car can and often does lead to cars with monstrous amounts of poke or generally weird fitment.

Regarding my wheels, I calculated the exact widths and offsets for I wanted the car to sit when aired down while being able to maximize the lip size on them and had CCW build them one-off for me. When raised up a little bit at driving height, the front wheels do poke out a little bit more than they do when all the way down bc the front wheels camber in as the car goes lower but the rears sit exactly as they do in those pictures. Obviously with most wheels that are available, you can't have them built to spec, but in the end, if the calculations are done and the correct tire sizes/spacers/adapters are utilized, you can fit your wheels to fit exactly as you want

Please please please please please please think before you post.
tucking on a flush, low offset (for hte platform) is incredibly difficult

where did i say it was easy?

[FreshLikeSushi]

Sure, poke isnt precise. Neither is tucked. or level of lowness. Its all just different tastes and styles.

I actually think Low might be the only thing most agree upon, the lower the better.

Dam, took me a while to get to the last post, some good convo/arguments going on here. I think this is the perfect place to have asked this question because there are so many different styles on this forum.

The my favorite part of this whole thing is that it has brought together so many different styles and viewpoints that wouldn't have mingled prior. It's great to see different viewpoints and various takes on a subject.

I've run a flush stance as well as a poke/stretch stance. Both took the same amount of research and fitting. Neither one was any more difficult than the other.

if there is such a thing as precision poke that would be it (yours aint bad either d-town). i'm actually going to ammend my "i'm not a fan of poke" statement. it is very fitting on some euros.

which takes me to my #1 statement: "nothing is right all the time".

[Rally]

now i can dig that you may have a specific amount of poke you are trying to achieve but it's a target with no bullseye. flush can only be flush, anything else is tuck or poke.

I think this fits within the original question in the thread.

IMO, the bullseye is just as much a balance as flush would be.

You go a few MM's too low and you're rubbing all over the place, you're bashing your fenders, and it just looks too silly.

You get your offset too high and it doesn't really poke enough to get the poke look. At that point you're basically in flush territory and no longer poking as originally intended.

**This discussion is all in fun. I hope it doesn't come off as anything negative or anything.**
