TUCK OR FLUSH...

Tuck seems to be a trend in newer builds...which do you prefer and why?  pics are definitely welcome.

sunk


hella sunk to be precise

positive offset ftw...hate being negative. This forum needs more positive...

tuck is sick...BUT only if ur tuckin front and rears evenly.... ..the hard part is tuckin the fronts

i prefer radius flush. i'm going to try to have this as my driving stance as close as possible

Its hard to tuck both...

I personally don't like the look of super tuck in the rear and then the front is actually flush.

Thailand, doin it right

Flush:biggthumpup: but you have to be low

I prefer flush personally, and I like the fender to tire gap to be the same front and rear. The way that purple Crown sits is perfect to me.

see it depends on the car .. For a Y34 i  thiink its best tucking since the rear of the car is already high and sitting any higher will not do justice to the look ..

^ flush when rolling ..

to me, your rolling stance > your parked stance.

[QUOTE=F.L.S.;414991]to me, your rolling stance > your parked stance.[/QUOTE] explain .. ?

your rolling stance looks better than your parked stance...

wrd. when you tuck a tiny bit like that it looks rather.... off putting.

either way can be sick, no exceptions, but neither is a gaurenteed recipe for success either. if it looks good it looks good. personally, i'm evolving towards more streetable setups which has lead me to favor tucked or meatflush but not so much for aestethic reasons.

The only way IMO, I am not much of a fan of tuck unless its on these, but thats me

Flush is my personal pref, built to tuck when suspension travels, but set to roll flush. I think it looks strange when you dont see part of the rim, reminds me of back in the day mini trucks with bodydrops and you only see the bottom half of the rim. Should also add poke into the mix, some guys like to ride a little higher with poke and then air down to flush and the fender rests between the lip of the rim and the tire bead

Tuck the rear, front can be tucked and sunk a bit. but i has to sit flat. not raked. Which is why people tuck to begin with. Now if you were to flush it out and still have the car flat.. then that means you put in a lot of work aside from just clearing inner fender out to get it to sit even all the way around. 

I personally do not like it when the front wheel looks bigger than the rear wheel due to it being cambered more in back than front yet the car lays flat with no rake. It looks weird when the front wheel is bigger yet they are the same size.

How about everybody just do what they like , who cares what others think. Everyone has different views and opinions.

we're just expressing what we prefer mang, no harm in it

somebody strike a nerve Philly?   just a discussion man...nobody is pushing their opinions on anyone else.

im tucking when slammed so im flush when rolling

we cant even have discussions about what we like without ppl complaining...wth.

anyways. back on topic. i prefer a slight poke, but ive learned that it beats on the wheels if you ride low enough. :sad: starting to rethink that though. lol.

I like flush when rolling...but I also like flushed parked...only way to do that is coilovers or don't mess with air ride once set.

I prefer radiused flush . I think it takes a lot more work to achieve this stance versus a tucked stance. However tuck looks good also. I think it depends on the car imo..

"Your sister is hot but your mom does that thing with her tongue"

good point chik...does depend on the car.  Like OG said, if it looks good, it looks good.

flush rolling and whatever gets u lowest parked (if on air).

i just flushed the toilet. shit tucked right in

tmi :smiley-rofl:

whatever is driveable

so true, hence the large demand of rolling shots...

[QUOTE=CrazyHawaiian;415063]Flush is my personal pref, built to tuck when suspension travels, but set to roll flush.[/QUOTE]
Zing!  Plus radius'd rears.

Every car is so individualized for me.   For instance, xBs have a solid beam that doesnt camber in when dropped so I like the tucked look when parked (because you know they can ride low too).  

Ideally though, my favorite stance on a car in general is if kit is laid out and apex fenders match up/touch with the apex of the rim.  Whether thats natural or done through radius, I could care less.

I've done both
Personally I'm loving tuck right now. Which ever is gonna make me look the lowest.
 
I gotta still figure out how to get my fronts lower/tuck though :sad:
 
 
 
**And those that ride "Flush" always end up having the most fucked up or jus fucked up fenders. Cool in pics, nasty in person
 
Also riding properly tucked isn't as easy as cats make it seem. There's alot more to it jus like "Flush"

 if it rubs on the inner fender well in the rear,  pie cut the inner fender well and push it up and reweld.  not so hard.  The fronts on the other hand...yea...tough to do unless you run weak offsets

im at 18/16 i knew i shoulda went more. maybe i'll upgrade to stiffer swift springs

I like cars that have some rake, not flat, and I can't stand when the rear looks lower than the front like a mini truck. I like the camber to match front and rear for a clean and balanced look. The height of my fenders to the ground is exactly the same in the front and the rear, my lips tuck in my fenders under travel, and clear by about a butt hairs thickness in the rear, the front looks more tucked because the camber is the same as the rear, if I took out camber in front or added thicker spacers it would be more flush, but I can't do anything till I resolve the bumper mounting tab issue.  

Yudi, I think your rolling height / stance is exactly how it should look always. I definitely admire all the work you've done though, and it still looks sick when it's dumped, and I've told you this already, but your car makes me not like my car any more. lol

Who said there was harm involved? How about makin a drive height thread , now that would ne interesting, oh no pun intended. Just curious:smiley-rofl:

[QUOTE=speedaddict;415143]somebody strike a nerve Philly?   just a discussion man...nobody is pushing their opinions on anyone else.[/QUOTE]

See post above, this been brought up a few hundred times. Its a wasted thread

that would be interesting... BUT this thread isn't about just parked tucked or flush.  Its about tuck or flush in general.   So you hardcore guys can chime in and pat yourselves on the back as well instead of complaining =)

whos complaining homie, I pat myself on the back everyday :biggthumpup:

I personally like Tuck with a few milimeters of clearance between edge of fender and lip of rim... but while rolling it's basically flush...
 
Like so...  (didn't tuck the front in this picture, but the tuck was even when I did)

that would be cool, but whos to say ppl dont lie? i dont ride as low as a few others, but then again most ppl dont come as close to poke / flush as i do either. its all personal preference (which is what this thread is about).

rodney that looks dope right there!

Thanks guys... I miss it... :slap:

To run flush, jus buy the proper arms and such and adjust as needed......"not so hard"

LOL..youre the one that said it wasn't easy...not me  :slap:

TUCKED:
cuz rake sux
and banged up quarter panels suck

Flush on the RIGHT size wheels. I hate huge wheels and 90% of the vip platforms look retarded with anything larger than 19s.

Is it really that hard to be tucked? 

I prefer flush with radius...lot of metal work is needed and can appreciate the amount of work that goes into cars often seen overseas...its what separates them from us...

IMO,
It's not hard to tuck, but it's hard to tuck RIGHT.
You need just as much precision (as flush) in getting the offsets and the fender lips right so it *just* tucks when lowered and pokes a tiny bit when raised. mere millimetres of clearance.

^^^True dat Rusty.

My personal preference (or at least where I'm going with my build) is F/R fenders radiused to an equal height so it'll have an level-ish look. Although the staggered setup will create a minor tilt forward. And that coupled with a paper-tight mild tucking of the lip F/R with matching aggressive natural camber. This will make the car nearly lay kit, but when in drive height/psi the wheels should sit pretty flush. Kinda like Jermaine's setup, but with a tad more ground clearance because of the 20"/21" setup. :shrug:

My personal preference is flush. But I'd rather tuck a bit than poke too much. Too much poke really bothers me still. I'd also rather choose tuck over rake, if it's a car with a very low rear arch. I actually kind of like the look of a tucked tire.

[QUOTE=rustyP;415480]IMO,

I disagree, this counts with air, but rolling static this is completely wrong.

Static you NEED to be be precise or you burn a fender in the first mile, I can tuck wheel with a wide range of offsets, but I need to be within 2 or 3mm of perfect in order poke and not bang fender.

More than half of the bagged cars that tuck (or poke actually) rest on the tire whether it's in the well or on the fender when they're aired out. With an exception of a few like Jermaine who went out of his way to make it so he didn't.

not that hard to do, the inner fender well needs a few slices and welds and you can play with the different offsets with adjusting camber for the most part.  Then again, I guess the people that don't have access to a welder or the tools it would be "difficult".  BTW, this goes for air or coils.

Tucked or flush doesn't matter to me I want to build a luxury F50 that scrapes the earth and gloats over the pavement as low as possible once I get some more suspension stuff I should achieve that. With my last round of body work there were things I was unhappy with this time out I like everything. I need to work on camber in the front and getting the front lower. Coil overs are coming so is a lot of other stuff. Everyones views are different in the end it's all for the live of the game that we do this and that game is not spending more money or out doing each other it's the game of nodding big luxury cars to make the ride unimaginably low and make them look good hill doing that. I think this can be done tucked or flush buy it isn't just the stance that makes a car look good it anything and everything each build and stance is separate to each other. I don't have a favorite but every build I see flush or tuck if it is done right looks better then one done in a way that doesn't fit the build. Build your car for you and you alone how ever you like

i think on your car, you have to tuck to be low, the radius would be too high.  I like your new look btw.  I wanted to rock those wheels as well.

I think you should go for them or at least one of his new wheels and radiusing the rear would have made it look weird. I can drop the front more I just gotta get coilovers and that's in my plans the bodywork will allow for it already just gotta get the suspension pieces to make it happen

Agreed, tuck/poke really depends on the car.

Y33 poke ALWAYS. F50, Tuck it.

I'm new to the precise tuck/flush scene w/ aggressive fitments. I do like the radius flush mentioned on page one, but I hate extreme angles. So my dream stance would be right around here.....

Two very different stances though.

Poke is not a stance. It's a cancer. A glitch in the 'matrix'.

Stance is relationship between car, ground and wheels.

Those two cars share nothing in common when it comes to stance and overall fitment.

Explain................

You posted one tucking wheel aired out and one aired up and poking, what is there to explain? lol

aired up? the ride heights appear to be the same............do you have pics of the last car showing it stanced otherwise?


and if you read my post it would give you more insight as to clearly what I said.

OHHHHHH shit I missed the print above the black GS.

Be more clear man lol why didn't you tell me I was comparing the same shit haha.

:pat: Women are right, see how much better things are when we take it slow.=p

hahaha

agreed SILVER 2GS has a very nice tucked but still pretty flush stance and fitment.

No offense mate, I like your stance choice too (flush on 19's mmm), but did you even read my post before you quoted it?
You basically said you disagree, then said *exactly* what I said..
You can tuck any cookie cutter rim just by lowering it enough.. "in a wide range of offsets" as you said, but getting it to tuck RIGHT also requires a hell lot of work, as it's gotta sit just as precisely inside the fender as poke sits outside.
Also by using natural camber, it should slide to almost-flush as the car is raised. Whether this raising is by air, or static and you stick a jack under it and wind up the coilie doesn't matter, the tyre/upper lip should still roll outwards and miss the fender by a hair when it's lifted an inch.

This is incredibly hard to do, as you seem to be aware with Jermaine's shining example, yet you say tuck isn't hard? Make up your mind hahaha

Achieving tuck is easy, but tucking 'correctly', can be just as much, if not more of an exercise in precision as proper poke.

We're agreeing on the better part of it I know that lol

But what I'm saying is I know a tonne of guys on air that just slap wheel on and if it pokes, they stretch some more and then they're like wooo tsurachi, others tuck and are like wooo tuckin' wheel.

That's the thing with air, there is way too few that can fully roll when aired out, especially the ones that poke. Because pokin' ain't easy, the static guys need to do it right or move onto their next set of tires.

If anything I more so elaborating on what you said, my choice of words to start that wasn't exactly the best haha.

[IMG]http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i156/tsaeteurn/GS300ToM%20VIP/4-3.jpg[/IMG]

its a toss up between poke and tuck for me.  Tuck because of the ability to ride a lot lower but poke just makes a car look really mean and aggressive when rolling.
