Most of those aren't aggressive fitment.
Anyway, I'll try to dig up some pics.

Here is my Work LS-105 18x9.0+0 with 25mm wide fenders on the front

On the rear this is the rear 19x10.0 on stock rear

and then with the 50mm overfender


the wheels were originaly from my last car that carried onto the FD, but now I may sell them instead.

One more pic to show some lip, thats the front, the rear as you can tell from the offsets I posted are a lot bigger, they would fit a stock body with some camber adjustments and some good high quality rolling and pulling in the rear.

Oh and the car is black, just waiting a new coat soon.

Yes true, if I do keep them I will be running a spacer in the rear to get them as flush as the fronts.

maybe even in front, when suspension is compressed on ground teh wheels would be sunk, i think you could make those wheels fit on stock fenders. it would have been much cleaner.

no ....Why would I need that? I actually had to roll the rear a little bit to fit the tires. i like my cars on the ground. So wheel fitment is crucial.

why would you get such large wheels and such small tires?

^^^

Note:
"Aggressive Fitment" = "doesn't fit without significant compromises".

Among those compromises are very small tires used to create a sidewall that slopes inward in order to tuck under fenders, negative camber settings past the point of functionality in order to get wheels to clear fenders, and occasionally mangled fenders.

In otherwords everything subjugated to the goal of fitting wide, low or positive offset wheels.

seems kinda pointless to me, and certainly not a compromise i'm willing to make. i consider aggressive fitment 18x10's all around with 285's. AGRESSIVE AND FUNCTIONAL

I was just curious. I've always liked your wheel/color choice and fitment, but when I saw your specs there I assumed you'd need a spacer in the rear. They're filling the rear so well and seem to be visually identical to the front. I was wrong!!
