Probably been mentioned many times, but what is this thing about fitting undersized tyres to over-wide rims? Is it supposed to look cool???? Or handle better?? Or can they not afford the correct tyres after spunking out the cash for the wheels????The fashion at the moment seems to be a combination of air suspension, stretch and quite aggressive resting camber to get the wheel arch to sit between the edge of the wheel and the tyre, as you can see above (getting as low as possible without tucking the wheel into the arch, which isn't usually possible on most cars without cutting chunks out of the chassis as these days the metal behind the rear arch liners is usually structural, as are chasiss legs etc which often need to be notched to allow clearance to get that low).
I have no idea why anyone would want to do this. Some people are a bit weird.

I genuinely thought it was people not being able to afford the correct tyre size after buying expensive wheels, just the same as the old fad of driving around in a golf with a rusty bonnet...I thought they'd had a slight off and couldn't afford to have the bonnet painted.
Which somehow also turned into a trend of people deliberately rusting out their bonnets on purpose..car people are weird..

And I've heard it is incredibly hard to actually get tyres to seal when you inflate them the first time, as the rubber is inches from the rim sealing surface. It is not easy with standard size tyres, but with this silly set up......King Herald said:

I want one I think it was taken off the road for no tax / insurance rather than having no roof, plenty of minis and other cars have their roof chopped off and are not scrapped

Do we really need dual foglights on each side? WTF is with the hole's as well? Looks like it was triple foglights at one stage and then they fell out!https://www.gumtree.com/p/porsche/porsche-cayenne-...
Awful.

Twin cold air intakes obviously because obviously those THREE FECKING MASSIVE GRILLES directly above them aren't enough.Awful.
