Totally agree with Grog. Sifu's nailed it - this is as good as it gets. Of course, that is my humble opinion.

In general I am not a hardcore stretch guy, but then again these wheels don't serve any purpose besides mainly looking good. But I sure do want some nice track wheels with meaty tires

Only way to make those sizes look good is coilovers. S techs wont give you enough drop. RSR's will, if you can find them. I dont know how much they stiffen up the suspension though so you might rub on hard corners.

The offset places the wheel in in relation to the hub face....so it really has nothing to do with the width.....the smaller the offset the more they stick out basically...so as long as you can deal with the fenders and the wheel wells...then they would look more aggressive if you mean stick out more

FYI you can fit 10.5-11" wheels under the car with the correct offsets...and not have to hack up your car.....so each to his own I guess

Sounds like you aren't ready to partake in the joy of aggressive wheel setups. Do not pass go do not collect $200

Google is a powerful tool. I definitely wouldn't start a project that involves permanently altering something expensive when I don't understand the basics (like definitions for example).

If you are willing to roll your fenders then you want a lower offset.
