Sick to death of the word "aggressive" being used to describe stupid offsets and stupid stretch.

Kee-ryste, go ahead and get some +25 offset 8" and 9" rims and put 195 and 225 tires on them, and call it "aggressive"...

God damn that looks horrible. No idea why people pay to make their cars handle and look worst.

First off let me start by thanking everyone for there help, it's much appreciated.
Unfortunatly I didn't ask for anyones opinion on whether or not you like nor agree on the stretched tire subject. I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion but I did not ask for it here nor does it help me with the question at hand.

To conclude this thread:
17x7.5 and 17x8 +48s will fit without fender mods?
Is this the lowest offset I can go or is there a lower offset that would still work?

Once again thanks for your help.

that size would be if you wanted stock fitting wheels, in which to use normal size tires... You can go more aggressive if you want without fender mods, reread my second to last post those sizes should work fine

Agreed! When I think of "aggressive", I think about what the widest possible tire is that can fit and a wheel dimension that matches the tire...

Aggressive --> pushing the limits of performance and grip potential

Ok so just to verify: 17x7.5 +40 and 17x8 +35 with stretched tires is not going to be an issue on stock fenders lowered approx 1.5-2" on skunk2s?

Once again Mar, tnx for your help
