Those MIGHT be legit rocket bunny over fenders, or they might be stance bro eBay specials. Regardless, the camber and stretch are worrisome! Just came to vent. That’s all. I know it’s not for everyone, but also know the majority here share my mindset.
Nothing like stickers on the rear window exactly where your rear view mirror tends to be.
The camber, wheels and tires are hugely unsafe and they really need to be taken off the road.
I just don't understand how people that stupid amass such amounts of money.
Those things we're seeing that look like the outer faces of the wheel just can't be. I don't see how the tires could stay on. They must be some extension piece that just mimics the look of it, like my Phat Lips idea.
why rear so much wider than front?

I know, right? Although those are probably not real TRA Kyoto/Rocket Bunny flares, and BMWs are some of the most commonly repo'd cars...
I'm glad our roads around here generally inhibit this behavior.
I like the color...

There's not much of a hardcore stance scene around here (at least that I know of), but I was nonetheless happy to see an RSX with massively stretched and cambered tires pulled over on my commute home last Friday (and he wasn't speeding). Not that I wish tickets on people with modded cars (since I mod my cars), but the amount of camber the guy was running was ridiculous.

Credit cars and financing.
At least it isn't a VW... (Have to remain positive somehow, right?)
Aqua cars with modifications limiting drivability and safety are nothing new.
Sorry had to
Thats a lot of parking permits on the dashboard.

I think the Hirohata Mercury was safer than this car. At least it didn't have the rims sticking out inches past the tire bead.
Maybe. But most sleds built by anyone not Sam Barris or Gene Winfield are usually sketchy as hell.
I'd like to say I've seen the wheels fly off one of these but actually I never have. I have however witnessed a wheel fly off an old Buick Lesabre which was very unmodified.
Maybe it's a Midwest thing but after regularly dodging loaded pickups with an open gate and one bungee cord, stance doesn't phase me much.

Was that Buick lesabre heading east on the Ohio turnpike in the early 90s by chance?

There's a story here. Spill it.
In reply to Appleseed :
Nothing super fun. Summer of 93 or 94, we lost a wheel on my mom's lesabre coming back from a family reunion in Ohio. I was half asleep in the back seat and just remember my dad motherberkeleying everybody and their brother after a loud bang, then some random people stopped and at least got him to a phone to call for help.
Oddly enough dad's work van, which we usually used for everything, had a bag phone in it at the time, but the parents decided the Buick was a better choice for the drive.
A couple of years ago, there was an IROC-Z in the garage where I stored my Fairmont for the winter. It had a CAR PHONE. An actual cellular telephone permanently installed into the car. It was too bad that I didn't have a young person handy to show them the state-of-the-art in mobile communications in 1987.
I can totally appreciate crazy mods. I’d have to know that the person wasn’t endangering anyone else but from a visual standpoint, anything but bozooku or whatever that crap is.
On a side note, one of my clients told me the first factory cell phone that was a genuine BMW option cost $3,000.
Am I the the only one left wondering why the car top carrier is on there?

He's going to H2O in Ocean City, MD. That's his money for fines.

Holy crap! I just had to go back an look again to realize that it's not. Apparently my brain saw a generically shaped mint colored sedan with a round emblem rolling 195's on 10" wide wheels with trashy looking flares... and automatically assumed it was a Jetta.
