Dude, have you ever been to California? Lip, tip and tuck is the cit!

Just ordered these yesterday for my Christmas/New Years present... :D :D :D

yeah i need a good reason to spend some quality cash on some rims too...you just gave me a good excuse toy box! hehe....

tinybigrig

the funny thing is that vip is a fullsize car look, that aside i think it looks great on a box, and to all these people worried about tires, who cares, not like you need a tire that has a r compond or a zr rating, it just needs to be black round and holding air...remember these are not performance vehicles, so big lip and lots of tucking with stretched can be what its all about...hey ryan think ill need some camber with my 13s?

And you are telling me THAT stuff is practical...? Did your car not come with speakers and a headunit? What about a front grill, didn't get one at time of purchase either? Get real man, 95% of all cars would be "rice" according to your standards--even yours.

Yea apparently some people like their wheels flushed with the fenders instead of sunk in the wheel wells rubbing on their shocks--whattya know!

i bought the xb just for a audio system other than that i could careless about it

That kinda stuff is like wearing your pants 5 sizes too big and hanging off your ___ with the cap turned backwards and all... Real cool when you're 15, but when you get a little older you know better.

hotbox05

yeah if theyre rubbing on the shocks theres a prob . just run with 7 to 7.5 wide rims and you have no probs a bigger tire slows you down and a heavier rim slows you down. and i know these cars aren't performance cars but you dont wanna make em even slower do you?

Ok I am 40 and I guess I don't want to grow up

Besides I really think that this is a preference in style not performance, IMO I want a "Imperial" cruiser to rock and roll until the next Toyota "Supra" car is available or they release a 3SGTE GT xB

So to get back to the original thread we need 3 and 5-degree camber plates, anyone got a connection?

VIP Tuning did start off with luxury car then made is way to vans and wagons in Japan. Don't hate the style, appreciate it! I didn't know there are numbers of VIP Tuning people out there. I thought I was maybe one of the few here in SD. Seems like its global. Seems like Van is the only connection to this dilemna. Maybe we should demand more to make it a priority for the camber kit to be made.

The truth of the matter is, this VIP sh** is unsafe. That much camber also puts a damper on traction and road handling. Then, to be even MORE unsafe, add to it some seriously bad fitting wheels (reverse offset, RWD style deep dish) and stretch some seriously undersized 13 dollar walmart style rubber on them!!! AWESOME!!!

Nice choice man, Can't wait to see them on your car !!! Sean

MrChet

So THAT'S what happened to those crabs. I've been looking all over for them!!!

Van, I hope you see this thread? If there are any VIP Tuners out there, it would be nice if yall back up Toy xbox on demanding the kit a priority!!!!!

There IS a purpose for negative camber... and in fact, ALL cars have negative camber from the factory! WOWOWO! Yes, believe it or not...
so the question then is, how much is too much? My Q45 has like -7.5deg in the back.


Why? Because I'm running really wide and low offset wheels in the back and because I wanted to experiment and determine the limits of what I could fit underneath the stock fenderwells of the car. It's also fun to confuse people because 99% of the population has never seen anything like that. I agree, my Q's rear is extreme, and to the layman, it looks like I've got broken axles... so it's understandable when people say that they personally don't think it looks right, cuz I can honestly agree with that to a point. (BTW, the Q handles amazingly well)

I think that for most folks, as far as appearance is concerned, neg camber beyond -3 deg will look "funny." It also depends on the wheel/tire setup because some may exaggerate the amount of camber more than others, aesthetically, but once you get into the -4 deg plus range, people can definitely notice that something is awry regardless of your wheels/tires. I suppose as long as you keep the neg camber "sedate" looking, there is no one who could argue with the looks you can achieve... for example, I'm willing to bet that even those who do not like any form of neg camber would have to agree that this setup looks ok:

nicely put van.. your Q45 looks clean. are those club linea's that you have on them??

ScionVan

thanks... the car's pretty rough tho, as a daily driver.. you can see all the paint scuffs on the bumper and the cracked fog light, and dented fender... all from the previous owner though! >HAHA<

The wheels are actually work vs-xx all around...
