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.

Butterfly? You just made that up didn't you Kuya? wink.gif

Don't ever call it 'butterfly' within 500ft of a race track or you risk getting laughed at. Its called camber to the rest of us. smile.gif

Excessive camber after lowering a car is due to poor suspension geometry which the 6th gen celica doesn't have to worry about much. Hondas however....suck royally in that regard.

Nah... that's what we call it here... and we clown on people who's rims butterfly out like that... wink.gif
