Whether they are compensating or not there's a lot of people out there with horrible tastes... the guys that take a perfectly good truck and put 8" offset wheels so they stick out near the whole tire width, shorter than stock tires, 8" lift and like 30" wheels with rubber band "mud terrain" tires (in quotes because with 2" or less sidewall they're useless) and think they're cool, and somehow they're always spotless meaning they've never left pavement for even a minute... (anyone that has tires that stick out past the body knows what I mean...). It's just as bad as the people that lower hondas and whatnot to the point they have to slow down to .01mph to enter a parking lot at an acute angle, and they don't even want to think about speed bumps... I have this thing about function over form, it only looks good if it works or performs a task better than it would stock, and highest priority in automotive modification, you still have to be able to drive it on roads to be useful!
