What is Hellaflush?

Hellaflush simply means having the wheel Flush with the fenders. This is usually achieved with wheel offset or spacers and usually requirers a good deal of negative camber. Having a lowered car is the only way to technically be hellaflush, because your fenders have to be hugging your tires.

This is a style that is growing at a very rapid pace. It originated from drift cars that were low and had wide wheels pushed out as far as possible. It is also very popular with VIP styled cars as well.

The term “Hellaflush” was coined by Fatlace, and is now one of their brands and the name of their most popular string of car shows. it seams they are slowly leaning toward “Slammed Society” for a brand name. But Hellaflush is here to stay.

The Meaning of the word hellaflush

The word “hella” is an adjective. I believe the word was first used in the USA as a way to emphasize something. Like “that car is hella fast”, referring to car that is very quick with speed and acceleration. While the word flush generally refers to wheels and tires and how they align with the fender or fender flares. The closer the tires are to being flush with the body, the more “hellaflush” that car is.  This generally requires an crazy amount of camber combined with a tire that is stretched to the rim. That means the tire must be smaller in width then the actual rim, so the sidewall of the tire is stretched on an angle.
