For those of you that are still a bit confused on what Stance and Fitment means, here's a simple concept to easily grasp the idea.
Stance = Vertical
Fitment = Horizontal
Stance is simply your ride height, and fender gap. The less your fender gap the better.
(ex. fender gap negative finger, 0 finger, or 1 finger gap is desirable)
Fitment is how far your wheels are relative to the fender. The further out your wheels the better.
(ex. flush or poke is desirable)
Here is a simple illustration to make it easier to understand
Combine the two concepts together to get awesome Stance and Fitment.
Some people would say, that Stance and Fitment is nice, but we cant do it because of Philippine roads are bad. This is mostly just an issue of stance (how low your car is). We already have cars with 1finger, some 0 finger gaps in a lot of modified and tuned cars here in the Philippines. There are even daily driven cars that lowered with 1.5" to 2".
As for fitment, most would ask, won't the tires rub with the fender? Yes it will, but there are ways to reduce the rubbing to almost none, depending on how flush you are. Fender modifications like, rolling and pulling can be done to add more space for the tires not to rub. If you are running with coil overs for your suspension system, the more control you would have over the amount of tire/fender play.
So is good Fitment and Stance doable here in the Philippines? Absolutely. In fact a lot of tuner cars here already have them... if you look at the drift car scene here, almost all the cars have great fitment and stance.
Hope this helps! Lets start a stance movement here
