husain1 Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I have seen few cars on road with tilted wheels, and don't know what to call them but I am curious to know why they tilt wheels and what is the advantage for that? I know people lower their car for looks and better aerodynamic but what is the relation with titling wheels...? Thanks.

Barry Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's called camber. You can adjust it to control how much of the surface of your tyre touches the road. Very useful if you have a race car. But now the kids do it because it 'looks cool'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amid Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's called stance and usually done to improve the cornering for high speed cornering requirement in racing. People these days are over-doing it just to look cool and have that unique identity from the crowd. Tilting it anyway more than 3 degree will screw everything in the car mechanics from tires, axle, driveshaft, and even the fuel economy.

Barry Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 The tilt on the wheels is called camber. Stance is how a car sits and includes camber, ride height, tyre and wheel width etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
