yea japanese drifters really brought this over the top style to life and made it mainstream, they go hand in hand, and the day this style fades away is when drifting fades away, and I don't see that happening at all. There are full blown shows and professional leagues setup just for drifters.

If you didn't know, the rear wheels don't turn, so as long as they clear the fenders going up/down, you're fine. Cars camber in when the suspension compresses anyways, so you get even more clearance.
As for the front, this is why you roll/pull/newspaper roll/stretch and do whatever to get it to clear.
The concept isn't that hard to follow.

A WHOLE BUNCH of guys doing it and having commercially-sponsored gatherings dedicated to showing it off just for the sake of showing it off, is a fad.
Vans with airbrushed paintings of naked chicks and unicorns. Sports cars with flames on the sides. '70s ocean liners with airbags and their drivers seeing who could make them bounce the highest. CB radios and calling everyone you knew "good buddy". Riceburners with C-130 wings bolted to the trunk.
All were around for a long time before they became "the current fad". All had their time in the spotlight, where everyone thought it was "the greatest thing that will never go away". All of them DID go away, or returned to their relatively obscure niches. And all had a few guys still doing it long after everyone else either smartened up, or moved on to something gaudier.
Undersized tires on oversized rims is no different. It's a fad, and it WILL eventually fade into obscurity, just like all the others. I give it less than two years before something sillier pushes it out of the spotlight.

As long as people keep buying wheels/tires its not going to be a fad. The mentality of buying wheels is totally different now. Besides Vancouver will never fully embrace it so you don't have to worry about it.

The only thing that won't be going out of fashion is function.
Hellaflush or anything else, you can never know if it will stay or not.

HellaFlush has only been in the spotlight for the past few years when Drifting took the spotlight. People have been doing this LONG before that.
The 70's in Japan saw Bosozoku styled cars with thier wild body mods and 40ft tailpipes that almost doubled as a wing. While most of them looked different, the only one thing that was common on all of the cars were the wide wheels+skinny tires. Most of the Bosozoku cars had huge fender flares, and they all figured out the need to fill those in with ridiculously wide rims. Something that Honda guys didn't get until just recently.
They've also been doing this for even LONGER in Europe. Just like our laws that still stick today, is the fact that your tires CAN NOT stick out past any portion of the fender. So to rebel against that, they used wider rims that stuck out past the fender, with skinnier tires that remained tucked under the fenders. Just look at the Dubbers that have been doing this on thier GTI's/Jettas long before rice became a fad in the Import Crowd. Staggered offset wheels with RWD offsets on a FWD car.
It didn't even really start as a "hellaflush" thing. That term was coined by the Fatlace guys a couple years ago, but people have been doing this wayyyy before then. Look at all of the old school cars with Fender Flares or any kind of Wide Body modifications. Car guys around the world, Import, Euro, Or Domestic have been pushing the limits of how wide of a wheel/tire combo they can fit on thier car. The only difference between each is the style, but the idea has always been the same. Huge wheels, skinny tires.
Lowriders, Drift Cars, Euro, Muscle Cars etc. Same idea. Different style.
Still popular this entire time.
Muscle car guys prefer wide rims+ even wider tires.
Dub Style guys prefer HUGE rims on a low profile tire
Drift cars prefer huge dish/Concaved rims
etc etc.
The shoes make the man, the wheels make the car.
So Sorry Soundy, you're wrong.

this will always be labelled as a "fad" for people who dont understand that this whole FITMENT thing has been around for a LONG time

I'm gonna guess this guy doesnt drive on anything but flat roads lol
If this was done in van, kiss your fenders goodbye..
OR maybe he has zero suspension travel? I'd hate to have a ride THAT stiff.
I wonder how many hellaflush guys have their cars as daily drivers

So Sorry Soundy, you're wrong. | Spugen is right... when I went to a shop asking for fender rolling and such, these OG guys told me they used to do it in the 70s. They were already into the wider rims and stretching tires before most of us are even born!! They said they didn't have the option of rims like us, so they would weld two steelies together and put stretched tires and rolled the fenders for hellaflush and even hallapoke styles... we are just bring back the past.. like how those people are so into RETRO styles...
*bring back the tide-dye t shirts!!*

Hardly. I've made my prediction. Time will bear me out. What more do you want me to say?
Talk to me in a couple years when you kids are all installing your hoods upside-down and calling it "HellaFlipped".
