Does “Jiffypop” mean the wheel center is crowned out … or flush with the outer edge of the wheel … or both?

Don't worry about learning a one off term from the Ford guy.

With the big brakes and calipers everyone want to run on these cars all (most) the centers crown out for clearance. The obvious exception is the concave spoke wheels. So that I'd say is a given.

To me JMO, Just my term, when I see that crowned center with a high offset wheel with no outer lip it reminds me of popcorn about to pop. This really becomes noticeable to me when the outer edge of the center protrudes beyond the inner step on a step lip wheel.

This obviously doesn't apply to flat lip wheels but for me, as nice as they look in some styles, those don't exist.
