Ian_rogers 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Stance for me is flush, not a big fan of poke, lil poke is ok but not major poke Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 ;) I would argue this sits better and looks harder than any of those cars above and yet it has no arches !!! Stance isnt about arches or lows or poke or tuck etc etc it's about how a car sits overall inmo but as you rightly say everyone's idea is different Link to post Share on other sites
millybuzzin 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 bummer, so if you go down a street with speed bumps you have to turn round Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 if I see a car running dreaded saxo stance (reverse rake), its an instant fail. front wheels shouldnt poke more than the back wheelsI wouldnt say that was "stanced", I would just say it was low Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 It isn't easy to achieve either, i've been playing around with mine for a while now and only just getting it to where I want. It needs to be able to be driven though imo and driven hard.... Link to post Share on other sites

I cant see how anyone would look at that and not think it looks hard as nails !! it has presence, it makes you stare that for me is "stance" a better word maybe is presence ? without sounding too zen the car has to sit right within it's shell and that hotrod has it nailed inmo Link to post Share on other sites
Caddyslammed 16 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Like a car that looks agressive down to a good stance. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 yeah exactly mate Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 it does look aggressive and efinately got presence. but for me its not stance. take the wings off any car and you could run the widest or most skinny ever if you wanted and you wouldnt have to worry about spacing them out cos what have you got ot space them out towards?

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 yeah but it would still take work to get it sitting right even with no arches mate ? to acheive the overall look still takes effort inmo, I know its out of the ordinary but thats the point I am trying to make, I see so many cars where they spend all their time on getting some really ordinary wheels to sit well and pay to attention to the wheels themself or the rest of the car and inmo that devalues the whole car - it has to be a whole package Link to post Share on other sites

VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I would take time but i dont thik it would take as much if your trying to get it perfect with the arches. The owner of that doesnt have to worry about what tyres sizes or offset to run incase it catches cos what is it going to catch on? he could run what ever he wants. It took me ages to decide what size adapters to get. constant emails to people, forum searching for what width wheels and ETs people are runnign ands getting picture sot see how it sat in the arches. Ive got it satin looking pretty good but im getting them machine down a few mm cos I want them slightly in, Surely he doesnt have to worry about stuff like that. Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote']firstly not having a pop at you personally or anything this is good I like discussions secondly but thats my point you cant obsess over arches for stance because thats only one part of it - if that hotrod had too small tyres or too big it wouldnt look as good ! and yeah I agree about the adaptors but then again you or I dont have to run them - we can get the wheels welded and re-drilled for the same cost or re-drill the hubs easy enough ? like you I spent ages measuring my arches with the wheels etc and by the time they went on they were perfect ( apart from stupid seized coil on the front ) Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 another curve ball - this I think looks awesome and I can guarantee you that a million times more work has gone into getting the wheels sitting perfectly on this than on any other VW !! set up perfectly for every condition, suits the car, makes it drive perfectly etc etc So it is stanced just for a different purpose Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 and does extreme tuck count as stance ? much easier than flush ? Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 if you redrill the hubs though then you got to space them out cos my wheels would sit 30mm in at the back otherwise.I still wouldnt say ^^ was stanced. My idea of stance is minimal arch gap whether it be on coiles or sat on the rim using air. but the wheels have be placed perfectly rather than just tucked (unles its air cooled stance, which is tuck, but you can always tell the difference between tuk that was meant and tuk that was just as is) Link to post Share on other sites
