The automotive modification that significantly broadens a vehicle’s stance, particularly popular with the Hyundai Veloster, enhances its visual appeal and potential performance characteristics. This aesthetic and functional upgrade typically involves replacing or altering the existing body panels to accommodate wider wheels and tires. An example includes custom fender flares or complete body kits designed to extend the vehicle’s width beyond its factory specifications.
Such modifications offer several potential benefits. The increased width allows for the installation of wider tires, which can improve grip and handling, particularly during cornering and acceleration. Furthermore, the aggressive, customized appearance often enhances the vehicle’s overall presence and individuality. Historically, this modification evolved from motorsports, where wider stances provided a competitive advantage. Now, it has gained popularity in the aftermarket customization scene.
