...Still workign on fitment. I guess this thread is dead lol

As is most of the aggressive wheel/tire movement. Among the myriad of reasons it's dead is your first sentence: it's a lot of chronic work.

This thread was super helpful to me so thanks to those who've posted. Ultimately some hands on, using examples from here and Fitment Industries website helped me find what I liked, then www.willtheyfit.com helped me out with being able to compare offsets and tire widths vs what I've already tried.

I wouldn’t consider mine as super aggressive but figure I’d post since I’ve been on hiatus the past 8 years or so.

^ A beauty. And a sunroof too, such good taste!

I say bring back this fad/trend. I just wish our post-COVID roads could handle close suspension tolerances. Our roads here are similar to the Baja 1000.

I don't think that it ever went away, just that our world revolves now with social media and not forums.

Klutch SLC2 18x8.5 +38 offset 15mm spacer front 20mm spacer rear. Eibach Springs. KYB adjustables. Roll center adjustment spacers front and rear. 225/40 Nitto NeoGens.

Oh wait I forgot. I ended up being able to remove the front spacer completely by bending my spring perch up a couple mm with a sledge hammer. It just has the 15mm spacer on the rear now. I did have to roll front and rear fenders but no pulling.

Probably depends what city one is in. I used to see the odd setup like these a few years back (on all sorts of car models), they've all but vanished in my neck of the woods.
