what's the most aggersive offset you can run for?
I want to run smething real aggersive but not to the point I need to have aftermarket fenders or anything like that. Looking to run work emtions and this is the most aggersive so far I have come across....
front 17/8 +47 offset
Rear 17/9 +44 offset
has anyone run something more aggersive? Don't care if I have to roll the fenders cause I have a feeling no matter what I have to any how. Any help on this would be great.

ego, you should have no problem running 215/245 tires with those wheels, no fender-rolling should be required. At most, you might want to dial in some negative camber.
"Aggressive offsets" rant:
Offset and WIDTH determine how the wheel/tire fits relative to the wheel opening. The more "aggressive" (not the best terminology imo) offset you run, the narrower wheel/tire you have to run, period.
Ferinstance, 17x8 +47 front/17x9 +44 rear wheels will put the outside lip of the wheels at the same place relative to the fenders as 17x9 +60 front/17x10 +57 rear.
Why should the narrower wheel option be considered "more aggressive"?
If you are able to run 17x8 and 17x9 +35mm offsets, all that means is you *coulda* run 17x9/17x10 at +48mm and have the outside of the wheels at the same location, with 20-30mm wider tires. Again, which is "more aggressive"?
IMO, all "aggressive offset" means is narrower wheels/tires are being run than *could* have been run with the outside of the wheels/tires pushed out the same amount.

i use to run 17X8+45 with a 215 on unmodified fenders and did not rub. i could have probably ran a 225 but might have need to roll the fenders. i now run 17X9.5+47 with a 255 on oem fenders but they are flared.
