^looks like sport calipers/bumper on there. rear has a bit of negative camber but otherwise looks fine. tires even seem normal.

I'm not expert but from what I know, aggressive means super low offsets (even negative) + super wide wheels like 11", 11.5".. which makes the wheels poke out past the fenders. Which also makes hella flush setups look weak..

I don't think it has anything to do with narrow/wide tires or how low the car is. I also agree with you where stretched tires are for VIP and is not the same as aggressive.

I don't think you want to run +22 with those wheels.. u see how it's poking pass the fenders? that means every driveway u go to will rub ur fenders like crazy and possibly breaking them, as well as with every dip and bump, I don't know how you can drive around town like that. Though it looks helllaaaa sick of course.

i have +35 +37 on a 10.5 also and it's pretty darn flushed.. and I like it to know that I don't have rubbing issues is an added bonus too

youre kinda contradicting yourself. As i agree with the first part, the 2nd part is contradictory.

If youre running stupid low offsets on wide a s s wheels, you gotta stretch the tires in order to tuck into the fender.

I think the misunderstanding here is that i guess theres 2 diff kinds of aggressive. Performance aggressive, and looks aggressive(?)

performance aggressive would be stuffing that 305 tire into our rear wheel well.

whereas looks aggressive would be poking those wheels out as far as you can while still getting the tire to tuck behind the fender.

LOL! Well your buddy needs wider tires, the rims stick out past the tires lip. Not worth that stretched look if those are 285s.

I am still up in the air on going stretched. I am pretty agressive on my set up right now.

Everyone has their own tastes.

I can see that many ppl on this board arent into this style...yet.

I wasnt either when i first saw it. But after awhile it began to grow on me and now I LOVE IT.

It was the same way with the 37, when it first came out i hated it. then after awhile it grew on me and now I LOVE IT.

Dont get me wrong either. Nothing makes me go from 6 to midnight more than a set of fat **** 345s on the back.

I like both looks.

I just think to be putting that size tire on the back you need to have the power to back it up, otherwise its just overkill, and IMHO i dont think this car is puttin down that kind of power stock. JMHO.

i went to a GTG last sat and one 350z was running 11.5" rims and his tires were sitting past the fenders.. he didn't even bother to tuck his tires in.. he's lowered but not slammed. thats mad crazy

i think tires sticking out past the fenders and not being able to tuck into the fender is disgusting.

Makes me think of those hondas that have their wheels sticking out 2" past the fender.

another point to add is those 305 are mad money.. if "u" have a deep wallet then good for "u" (not refering to you)
