If I need to I'll use spacers I will, but I don't think I will. They don't make a +15 offset anyways in this wheel.

I'm running almost two degrees of camber as it is. I might need some spacers when lowered but it sticks out a half inch from the fender as it is. It's within the guidelines for the thread, just barely but it is. I guess aggressive is different in everyone's eyes.

Hey Tilt lovin the new look; you're right though it does need some extra's to make the wheels flow better. It's because it's such a busy wheel (colors, rivets or whatever they're called, etc)

How bout a side shot? Specs?

In varying degrees it is, but if something is "just barely" aggressive that cancels out the whole idea of being aggressive to begin with. Going above and beyond the minimum so there's no question about it... that's aggressive. However, like imput said, it still looks good

It's been a while since I posted in this thread... I had the fenders rolled and the car is lower... it still needs to be slammed though. Hopefully when I stop working 60 hours a week I'll get around to it and take some pictures

In the mean time, I need new tires and an under tray haha

You should be fine with a +35. Basically you wont have to run the camber a lot of us had to run to fit our wheels meaning you'll still have an aggressive stance. Could it be more aggressive? Of course but look at it this way, you aren't sacrificing as much as many here have to by running more camber and inducing more wear.

I went through 5000 miles worth of Toyo R1R in 2000 miles you know you need new tires when you hear the fabric plys on the pavement

So, for it to be a truly aggressive fitment you need to do extensive body work to make them fit, otherwise it's not aggressive?
I'm not looking for everyone's blessing or approval, just sharing with everyone.

Not extensive, but my tires rubbed the fenders at stock height... once it was lowered it obviously got worse. The fenders were rolled last week and now the only time rubbing occurs is in hard right turns because I lowered the front-driver side just a tad too much.

Not so much extensive, but you'd be correct. Its not aggressive if it didn't take extra effort to put it in in most peoples eyes. Thus any wheel that doesn't require at the very minimum a roll front to back, regardless of size isn't seen as aggressive... Hell you could run a 11" wheel and with the wrong offset not "LOOK" aggressive, but it'd still be an aggressive setup.

I should have said I will personally love them 100% more than any other wheel I've had. I'd wager you might dig them over the kais though

They're a bit too bling for me and like I said earlier, "just for the time being" :-D
19x10.5 +23 19x9.5 +28 -> spacer action is going on, I'm just not doing much until the shorter tires are on. Right now I've got 285's in back and with the height from the tires, it looks like a drag car lmao

Low offset + stretched tire looks silly on skinny wheels. Reminds me of lowrider wheels, haha

Looks good Bose, it will look aggressive when dropped i think. If not you can always get spacers.

If it was 18 x 10 all around, I would say it is really aggressive.
