Hella flush look
 
So I've been seeing alot of subies with that hella flush look in the bay. I was wondering what kind of suspension, and like the size of the wheel to make it look hella flush out?

Coilovers, camber plates/bolts, rolled and pulled fenders, wheels usually minimum 17x9 or 18x9 offset around 35..some have 18x10.5 offset 22

charlottecayaby 02-20-2011 06:03 PM

Oh! So it's necessary to have a camber kit with 17x9?

some coils like stance comes with camber kit (front and back). I've been running it on my car with no issues. My wheels are advan rg2 18 x 9 +29. Really depends on how low you want to go. My front fenders are cut and my rears are pulled.

Depends on the offset.


The Hella Flush/Aggressive trend consists of (in a nutshell) Really wide low offset wheels with really stretched tires and very aggressive camber to have the edge of the rim almost touch the rolled flat fender.

There is a lot more technical stuff involved but that is what it is.

sup mike. running 18x9.5 +33/+38 with no rubbing. didn't even roll or pull my fenders. just camber it and you'll be fine.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend this kind of set-up for a 15k mile/year DD unless you have a mad hook-up on tires.

salvator_rizzo 02-20-2011 07:29 PM

don't forget also gotta run thin tires on super wide wheels so you can go low. No stuff meat on fat tires for hella flush ...

And god knows how much lateral force a stretched tire can take

Some of my friends who "drift" have been known to get sideways and drift on wheel instead of tire. So sometimes, not much lateral force. Hah.

LOL @ Paul! This trend wouldn't work on my 40k/yr commute schedule

papakiet 02-20-2011 08:40 PM

so is it still "hella flush" if you are running a 9.5 wide wheel with 265's?
