Aggressive Fitment Thread

[Vanquisher]

that's not how it works. it all depends on the wheels spoke design. if its deep dish it doesn't matter, and you will have to add a spacer

True. ;)

meh.. it is nice but not aggressive by the definition of this thread.

The only way a car will be aggressive in this thread is if it has one or more of the following:
- offsets of the wheel that push the limits of fitment on the car. ie: sticking past the fender or needs camber to fit.
- tires so close to the fender that it goes beyond the standard realm of fitment
- lowered so much that even normal tire and wheel specs become so tight that you can't fit a finger through the gap.

I agree, but if we're going off those standards, then about 80% of the cars in this thread do not belong.

Exactly.. because this thread isn't for them.. This thread isn't for the standard fitment like most have been posting here. It's about aggressive specs, not aggressive (mean) appearance.

I somewhat disagree. The thread title is "aggressive fitment" not "aggressive specs." Which, i think most tend to see as a fine line difference. If your stock suspension, narrow wheels/tires etc then this thread is not for you. I have seen some setups on springs alone with an 11" wheel in the back that looks aggressive to ME. To each his own, but the majority do not belong, you're right.

if my car were lower...id consider it semi aggressive..but its my commuter car...i didnt wajt to get stupid with the drop i dont know many others on here running 10" wide et25...aaaand 285s (probably 295s next set)

It may "look" aggressive but the fitment may not be aggressive because the specs do not make the fitment aggressive. You can fit a 12" in the rear on these cars so an 11" wheel isn't really that aggressive unless the specs push it close to the fender.

With the right tire, an 11" is aggressive. It all depends what tire size is paired with said wheel and your suspension. Trust me, i know how this goes. Former import guy, here.

Yeah I forgot to mention the tire in my reply but I did mention it in my post that started this conversation and you did not mention it when you brought up the 11" wheel. So we are both at fault there but regardless to have aggressive fitment it requires one or more of the three things I mentioned that started this conversation. So I stand by what I said originally.

I do like where the wheel sits there. I wonder what it would look like with more drop..?

I'll give us each one point. :cheers:

He will need some camber to tuck that low of an offset in the rear, it appears. Which, depending on how much of a drop he goes with, could automatically occur.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. Would definitely look sweet.

Supa it all depends on offset for instance a 12 et 50 fits tire needs to be a tad small to work then you have a 11 et 48 it works right then you have a 11 et 30 that sucker is aggressive works with a fullsize tire but needs some alignment magic

For sure needing some camber adjustments with that last one. I get how it works. Also depends on the design of the wheel too.

Yes sir, and yes sir lol

But now i wanna get my s550 and do something so out there and ill probably kick myself and go back to my oldschool flush meaty setups.

Imma but nutty when it comes to fitment on my personal cars.

You guys wanna know aggressive my daily runs 1
20x10.5 et 25 square with 245 255 tires dumped 3.2"s on custom.bc extreme coilovers with 14/12 spring ratings.

The guys at the shop have dubbed me dr.loopy lol, little inside to my daily car serup i guess.

WHAT?! Did you just say that you're finally going to switch over to the S550??? You had told me last spring when we spoke that it was a possibility.
