That's the second picture of a wide-body style that I've seen where the rear wheels were toed out. What is the purpose of doing that, please?

1: I think it's a result of the bags (?) that he's using for suspension.
2: The handling is naturally increased, by having the tires leaning intoward the body (at the expense of replacing them every however many miles).

Or, the matchbox axles he's using are bending under the weight of the body

The last one looks like Mercedes wheels, unsure that's right for a Yaris...I think the first pic's wheels look much better

Either way, it's a terribly impractical style that costs a lot to reap little benefit, but we love it anyway
