If you are running wheels like this... People should avoid you.

This extreme offset trend has it's advantages and disadvantages.



The disadvantages are that it is stupid looking. It also creates extra stress on suspension and steering components due to basic physics. Third, it throws rocks and debris not only on the moron's pickup, but anyone unfortunate enough to be passing by or following the moron. And lastly, it is illegal in most states.

The advantages are that it is an excellent visual indicator that the owner of a pickup running this sort of setup has absolutely no grasp of basic physics, common sense, or taste.

You can see from hundreds of yards away that someone with an IQ close to room temperature is approaching and that you need to be extra vigilant against random acts of stupidity.

Avoid any interaction with anyone that would do this to their vehicle.

This is a public service announcement that needs to be heeded.

You may now proceed with your regularly scheduled programming.

 

Ah, it's the 90s all over again. Extreme wheel poke. I'm waiting for low riders to be a mainstream thing again. I'm not sure what's dumber "Carolina squat", extreme wheel poke, low riders, "stance", etc. I guess all of them are equally stupid.

 

Negative offset with meatier tires look fine to me.

 

there has always been this one tried and true saying.. “you can’t fix stupid”.

 

Done right, I like the extra wide look. The stretched sidewalls though kills it everything time.

 

No complaint about the stretched tires?

 

Hawaii truck owners pimp their rides out like this

 

Yeah if these wheels trigger you, definitely stay away from Hawaii LOL

 

This shit is stupid too....

 

I love when a$$hats like this try going across the very narrow bridge that is the only river crossing for 10 miles in either direction. There is no way they can stay in their own lane.

I’m not afraid to stop in the middle of the bridge, put it in park, and make them back up.

 

I'd agree that while extreme wheel offset is wrong on many different levels... the Carolina Squat is on an ignorant and un-safe level all of its own.

I see these too often in the snowy winter months...they don't do well.

 

I'm constantly amazed by the amount of money people will spend to make their shit look stupid.

But they do provide a valuable service... They make me laugh.

 

Thanks for information, gang. I'll remove spacers and get her back to stock.

Do you think it's ok to leave camber on mine like in this pic? I heard it improves fuel economy.

 

Yep, da' bruddahs do like 'em big in da' 808

 

Certainly less rolling resistance!

So I've always wondered, do they remount the tires and swap them side to side when that inside edge wears out?

 

I like the green one.

 

At least it looks like you could actually off road in it. I hate the look when the rim edge sticks out further than the tire.

 

I saw a murdered out 2500 Ram Cummins with this wheel treatment and moose antlers straddling down the interstate a couple of days ago. I shake my head each time I see one of these now after that video of the offset wheel coming off at speed on the interstate a few months back.

 

Hard to see good Swampers go to waste

 

0 offset wheels come off at speed too, just sayin for a friend

 

My Province seems to be a magnet for people with poor taste. Excessive poke, loud exhaust, stupid stickers (think “so scare” or “sorry about your neck”) and jacked up diesel trucks with barley enough room for a pair of rubber boots in the box are all too common.
Maybe I am just getting old.

 

What's wrong with Low Riders?

 

Uneven roads and speedbumps.

 

I lived on Kauai for a couple of years. There are lots of reasons to stay away from Hawaii other than stupid auto mods, though discovering that it is common there does not surprise me, lol.

 

Well, there’s truth in that.

 

NC banned them a couple of years ago and just this past May SC has banned their use on the public road - the Carolinas have washed their hands of them. Mind you, I saw three of them in a local grocery store parking lot just last week so it'll probably take local plod about ten years to catch up and start booking them.

 

Rockin that chrome John Deere front plate cause, you know, it’s a farm truck.

 

Looks like good protection against a runaway grocery cart to me

 

Stupid, yeah.
But still better than them idiots in St. Louis and such that take the doors off their cars are drive around.
How do they keep their beer cans from falling out???
