Extreme Cambered Rear Wheels

[kawapower]

You see many cars now with extreme rear cambered wheels, surely this is very dangerous In a road going car, is this now just a styling modification which is dangerous!! I can't even say it looks good and that is coming from someone that loves modified cars.

Not sure exactly what you mean by extreme camber.???

Remember BM's rear's cambering outwards when extra weight in the back.

I mean I have seen cars with the wheels almost at a 45 degree angle at the rear, is that not extreme!!

My IPad will not let me post pictures on tv.

Really, I have seen a few, not far from the big Honda dealer near the big bike rental place not far from Supercheap there is an extreme example of this type of car, also the boss of C Cube has one of these cars. Looks horrible in my opinion!!

All independent rear suspension adds negative camber if lowered or heavy load if the rear has drive shafts connected to a fixed differential housing. And am sure there are kits out there to go extreme with this set up.

Is it a safe thing to be doing?

Yes there are kits for this modification.

I am quite sure the wheels of the cars in the YouTube clip are not like that because of shopping in the boot!!

I also see more and more cars here with wide wheels but under tyred so they look really stupid and dangerous.

IF, tyre pressures are adhered to, if over inflated then not safe.

It's VIP style.

The car rides on airbag suspension and they stretch the tire to fit the widest wheels possible without scraping.

Looks dangerous.

Race cars run them like that, but on a road car it must be dangerous as you are losing a lot of tyre contact with the road.

I can't say I've seen it here, but I've seen it in SoCal.

I think it's silly

Now I have mentioned It I am betting you will see one soon.

I prefer the cheaper option positive camber where the vehicle has understeered(pushed) into a kerb at speed and no repairs .Doesn't work on the rear of a truck though.

That stuffs the tires in no time flat - any dropped suspension without a camber kit ruins tires unless you want to constantly move them from side to side which requires them being removed from the rims.

Personally no way on any of my rides, dangerous or not ? pass.
