Official HellaFlush/Aggressive Fitment Thread
This thread needs to be cleaned up by a mod.
Just because you don't like 'hellaflush' doesn't mean guys that do like it can't have a thread. Everybody knows that this isn't most people's cup of tea, so lets just relax here guys and if you have nothing good to say......... say nothing at all.

I'm sorry but hellaflush is not the dumbest thing to come to the scene...there are far more worse things that people have done that are "not as tastefully done" compared to what others would like.
Everything that everyone does or has done to their cars are inspired by past experiences and then modified slightly or changed to give a new look. Hot Rods are an examples of the first slammed cars. I bet everyone thought it looked like crap but now a lot of people love it. There are so many types of "hot rods" but some had "wheels flush with the fender or even tucked" Hellaflush is just a modified look but it is more extreme now. Guys run stretched tires to make it look even more flush. ( I agree a stretched tire isn't excactly safe and i wouldn't do it but i like the "cleanliness" it gives lol)
Give respect for trying to be different but don't call it dumb, be respectful and say its not your "cup of tea" or in a mature way.

Flush aggressive stance = good
Wheel poke= bad
There is a difference and theres no need to trash the thread though. The only reason to go with a stretched tire is ride height, you can't run a wide tire on an aggressive drop. Generally, lowering the car more than 2" hurts the performance so having a stretched tire and an aggressive drop isn't good for performance but most of the cars on evom are street cars where performance isn't really used. So as a street car/cruiser, run this look and when you take it to the track, raise it up and throw some lightweight wheels with good meat. DONE, best of both worlds.

As a matter of fact yes.... i saw your other thread that was 2 posts down and saw what you were planning on doing, thus it not being a stock car. I was actually trying to be nice about it because i was in the same situation, high hp and impractical style, in the vw scene but it is much more accepted in that scene. But you are one up tight dude... Just do you
