Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread

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.

^^ 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.

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

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...
