This might sound like a juvenile question, but I have seen rims on cars that seemed to be "angled" on the car. Intead of the tire being perpendicular (90 degrees) in relation to the road, the tire is on a slant of like 85 degrees. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I have noticed this trend on alot of Nissans, like the skylines and 240's. If anyone could enlighten me on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Another term for this is "butterfly"... The wheels usually butterfly when the car is dropped extremely low (i.e. usually due to cut springs). |
