i almost wish i would have went with 275's.

 

I don't want to stretch the tires...obviously

I'm ok with rolling/pulling, I just don't want to have major issues with fender rubbing, removing the fender liners, etc.

i may go with 10.5" rears. I honestly think stuffing 18x11's out back with a 285 tire wouldn't be that big of a deal, especially if I go with a +42mm offset of something a little more shallow.

 

nuke: how wide are your wheels? what size tires?

 

18x10.5 +43 265/35/18 on all 4 corners. no under/oversteer, rubbing, fender mods, or excessive camber at all.

 

danobre runs the exact setup as mine with 275's.

 

^See, which makes me think if I rock an 18x11 with a +43mm or so I won't need to modify stuff too extreme

 

nuke: suspension?

 

Chicken why dont you just go all out:

11.5" -51 offset





No fender work needed

 

Lol!!!

If I was going to go with a more conservative offset and not run staggered I would probably rock some SSR Type-F's 18x9.5" or Volk CE28N's in the same size

 

holy crap

 

Tein S-Tech's

 

Ahh, well I am much lower than you then- I have Koni shocks and Sprint springs...

 

i think i could go lower just by shaving the fenders.

 

Someone looking for major grip vs. style should not be seeking advice in this thread

 

^+1

Was kinda thinking the same thing.

 

Well, ya. This is the "Aggressive wheel" thread, not "ideal track wheels" thread.

That's mainly why I was getting a little irritated with people telling me my staggered wheels won't handle as well despite this is the aggressive offset thread...

 

^^ so by agressive you mean: wide wheels with small tires then yup... this is the perfect thread for ya bro.

if you want grip, you should try and mount at least 275's but you probably can't do that with such a wide wheel. There in lies the dilemma.

 

I'm not mounting small tires...I've said this before

Dan runs 10" with 275s which is plenty of tire for me.

Aggressive doesn't mean wide wheel/small tire, it means wide wheel/small offset

 

This is the aggressive wheel thread inspired by hellaflush.com and the like. Look and style of the wheels takes precedence over performance.

 

My vote is 19x10 +42 with a 275 tire.
works awesome on my car.

it's not considered "agressive" by a certain crowd but it'll give you a wide wheel and the rubber you're looking to put down.
this conversation is probably better suited in the 'will it fit' thread

 

You rolled your fenders for that, right Jorge?

 

rolled the rears. No pull needed and no crazy camber.

 

Countless time attack evo's run slightly stretched 265's all around.

If you want more predictable grip just get some tires that sit square on the wheel ie a 275 on a 9.5. You won't be flush without a stretch, even be it small. Those against any stretching are just afraid of it, really.

Typically aggressive setups have a wider stance than traditional safe setups, as chicken said, wide wheel, low offset accompanied by low ride height with no finger gap between fender and tire, often tucking tire. I wouldn't say hellaflush started it, moreso popularized it. "Hellaflush" is
a norcal trend started by some hypebeast shop fatlace. I can't really hate because they support autosports and some other pretty cool **** but the whole nike sneakerhead fixed gear sf lifestyle isn't exactly my dig. But ****, flush fitment sure is.

Bottom line, no fender mods? Not aggressive...

 

Well I did say hellaflush and the like. Also I lived NorCal and know flush. I have been around the import scene for 25+ years This thread is more about style then it is performance. And there is nothing wrong with that but it is what it is.

 

Oh for sure man, I just wanted to bring it to attention. If we didn't care about style and wanted pure performance, we all wouldn't have purchased the 4 door 4 seat 1.3l 200hp rx8's we drive

Guys, more pics, less talk!
