There are TONS of combos for flush.
Small strech, Mid strech, extreme strech (note my y33 on the main page)
Stock camber specs, mild camber, aggresive camber, extreme camber (note my y33)
Wider wheels with higher offsets, narrower wheels with lower offset,
Mainly the fact, we do it with 18/19/20s while you guys poke on 15/16/17 and most vip (i only say VIP, becuase it is easilly associated with) are the same height as you guys.Disclaimer:

I don't think it's particularly fair to compare different platforms. ...Which brings me to me saying again that stance isn't one formula or one "set" stance that can be achieved. It's the whole package and everything is incorporated.Originally posted by Jesus Christif "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" doesnt include being able to buy a huge veiny motherfucker then the declaration of independence isnt worth the hemp it was written on.Originally posted by Jedidiahhe speaks the truth.. he doesn't even have the -- -- eyes.

you can't really define "tasteful" when talking about something that deals only with personal taste.
it's not a big deal to me, just thought i'd speak on it. whatever floats your boat homie.

I encourage a healthy debate, but you can't explain/prove what "stance" is. You can only "explain" it in your own PERSONAL TASTE. There is no right or wrong. You don't have to like all of it. It's all based on opinions.Originally posted by Jesus Christif "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" doesnt include being able to buy a huge veiny motherfucker then the declaration of independence isnt worth the hemp it was written on.Originally posted by Jedidiahhe speaks the truth.. he doesn't even have the -- -- eyes.

Originally posted by FreshLikeSushi View PostIt just seems people are putting their wheels outside the fenders to do it nowadays. Some of the older mk1/mk2 cars it looks right on cause of the overall look of the car.
But to have to run 16s, so your wheels and tires are so small that you can be fake low, just kills it.
Id much rather see a mk4/3 on 18s, at the same height of the 16 guys, with correct fitment, becuase it shows workmanship, dedication, time.
i can slap some shit thats too wide on a car in an hour if i wanted to.
So i think it goes more into workmanship and finesse more than anything. ive seen one VW on here that had poke i liked. the rest are just like, " Hey im gonna be cooler htan you and poke 2" more on a stock body".

It has nothing to do with car height
My car has poke all around but all of the tire tread easily tucks under the fenders, does that make my car have mexi-poke?

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

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.
