The stance of your car is almost as important as what it looks like and what’s under the hood, and that’s why groups like Stance Nation exist. Practicing what he preaches, the overseer of the Stance Nation blog, Elvis Skender, lets his Charger SRT8 do the talking with its “aggressive fitment” design that is the organization’s way of life. Never heard of it before? Check out the noticeable stance and ride of the Charger in the video above shot by Royal Origin’s Shavi Wijegunaratne to see for yourself just what they mean by aggressive fitment.
The aggressive fitment movement focuses on three major things; the offset of your wheels, the stretch and tuck of your tires, and the lowering of your vehicle.
In order to have an aggressive fitment, you must have negative offset wheels, or wheels where the surface of the mounting hub is toward the back side of the wheel’s centerline, like most deep dish wheels.
Your car must also have tires that tuck under your car while the rim of your wheels sticks our or sits flush with the fender. Lowering the car as much as possible is also very important for the aggressive fitment movement.
Skender’s Charger SRT8 executes the aggressive fitment to the tee. The car’s clean look comes compliments of eliminated side moldings and trunk spoiler and added roof spoiler and Daytona R/T front lip. The extremely low ride of the car comes from a BC Racing suspension with 14 and 16K “stance” springs.
In order to get the 22-inch Dynamic Performance Engineering SP SC5 wheels wrapped in Nexen rubber to fit properly, parts of the front wheel wells and all four fenders were cut out, leaving only 1mm of space between the fender and the back tire when it’s fully compressed.
Obviously Skender is serious about the aggressive stance of his vehicle, but what about performance? Well, the Charger still retains its 425hp HEMI V8 but plans supercharge the car are being discussed.
Skender’s Charger SRT8 is gorgeous in many aspects. No matter what your opinion on the aggressive fitment movement, you’ve got to give the guy credit for executing such a drastic stance on his car while retaining it as his daily driver.
Shot by the creative media company Royal Origin when Skender met up with the crew after Wekfest San Francisco, an elite automotive gathering sponsored by Weksos Industries, the above video gives an amazing look at the unique “stanced” Charger. Take a look and tell us what you think of the aggressive fitment style.
