Your tyres would get massive wear on the insides being out so much.

Any tyre place that can align wheels can do it.

A little tyre wear to look so tough???
Sounds like a fair trade to me.....
Any idea of cost?

Ohh shouldn't be much, just go to get your wheels aligned and tell them that you want to shred your tyres. lol

... and be unsafe.

Just today an oncoming car drifted over the yellow lines into my path. I was looking down the road, as one does, and noticed comparatively late that this guy was now about to plant his right headlight into mine. I managed to swerve sharply left and back, slip past without a collision and keep control of my car on the road. The other bloke then came to a complete stop behind me in the middle of the road, presumably shaking with fright. I drove off.

Had my wheels been so groovily cambered as above, complete with terrible tyre wear patterns, I wonder whether I would now be just another accident report?

That car is posted on clublexus.com. I believe it's running coilover bag combo and is sitting fully lowered.

It would be undrivable at that height. There would be almost no suspension travel front or rear.

I run about 1 degree front and back. Back isn't a problem but more than 1 degree on the front will chop your tires out extremely quickly!

Matt.

David, he obviously doesn`t drive it around like this, it is at the fairgrounds stance for visual effect, anyway, disregarding the suspension settings, I still think it looks great,black paint, green glass, straight bodywork, Hell, I even like the wheels!

Just run over your Soarer with the one on 24" rims above, and hey presto, instant broken axles will give you the same look.

Seriously though, this car is both unsafe and illegal.

Yeah, Pretty much what everyone has said...

It will wear badly on the inside and generally unsafe for handling.

I don't think it looks cool anyway, to an extent it can - but its over done and way too low that car... Looks like its broken!

Stuart, your first pic is not Wanker, it is Silly Twit, safely leaving your second one as Wanker after all. :-)

Dave, I like blondes as well, maybe we can agree on something here! However, I have heard that blondes are just redheads with the fire F**ked out of them!

Just buy a V8 with Air suspension and aftermarket controller.

Anyone that thinks that that Soarer is not a great looking car should go and buy a Volvo!!

It is Air bagged and is dropped for a photo shoot. Driving it at that height is most likely not possible but at the press of a button would go back to a respectable height.

The gold Soarer with 24's is Photoshopped, you can tell by the shadows, the neighbours ute, the crop marks on the garage and the extra piece going to the rear wheels.

Maybe that was from the earthquake in California.
Seriously though, you may be right, however the other Donks previously posted by Rod Iseppi and others here are the real deal.

I thought the fact that the rear wheel is oval shaped gave it away pretty quickly too... cant believe you missed that one lol

Rob, you could be on to something here, if you want your car like the black Soarer,just rotate the oval wheels like on the gold Soarer 90 degrees and down she comes!
