are wide body kits strictly for homosexuals?

Most nowadays are for looks but flared fenders can serve a purpose.

>>28583230 (OP)
yes

>>28583230 (OP)
correct, 'specially if you ruin the suspension geometry like picrel to get "fitment"

I passed a wide body BMW Mini today, about four inch flares on it. Very low, I wouldn't commute it.

actual racecars don't count

They look bad 99 percent of the time, but wheels that go past the wheel well look worse. They only make sense if you installed drag tires or substantially wider racing wheels

Its one of those fads just like the many automotive fads before it that will play out in a few more years and then a switch will flip and everyone including yourself will hate your kitted out car.

>>28583247
Remember when the Ford Capri was actually a thing humans wanted.

99% of the time it's beaners with stock tires and 8 inches of wheel spacers

flared fenders have been around for decades retard

in japan you legally have to cover the entire rubber surface of a wheel with fender, which is why sometimes you see off-roaders like jimnys with large cheap fender extensions taped under the stock ones, so that they can be legally compliant on wide super swampers.
same for the cars: if you want to run crazy offset or very wide tires you HAVE to extend your fenders, you can't mexipoke or you won't pass inspections and you will be literally hassled by the police for having shit fitment.

I saw an electric R5 today. Exchanged waves. I see more new Mustangs than Capris in my bit of the UK.

god I love japan

>>28583305
I always that the nu-Mustang was a revival of the Jensen Interceptor in a sense.

>>28583230 (OP)
why do you ask? are you looking for a man?

>>28583304
Many countries do not allow vehicles within their borders if you have tire poke, a lot of the wealthier American traveling crowd learn this the hard way since it's not only legal, but a styling statement to have tire poke.

>>28583230 (OP)
on JDM they are

>>28583381
looks like fucking shit compared to the original.

>>28583230 (OP)
One of that kind, absolutely.

Yes if it's not a rwd car that you need fuckhuge rear tires on

>>28583230 (OP)
No, but if you just do the gay rivet stuff, they are. Epoxy that shit on properly.

>>28583304
I'm not talking about simple fenders, dipshit. We are discussing full-on body kits.
Lrn2read

That shit is for track cars only.
If you don’t track your car regularly and rice your car out like that, then yes, you’re gay

>>28583723
yes moron and WHY do you think the BODY KIT has fucking FLARED FENDERS???
christ you indians are like talking with a wall

>>28583230 (OP)
Depends on the context

>>28583230 (OP)
Yes, because wide body kits that don't look like total dogshit are extremely rare.

>>28583381
Say Japanese cars instead of JDM retard, any car ever sold in Japan is "JDM"
