Default AGGRESSIVE ISX50 wheel thread

I know there is a wheel thread already but it's impossible to search through for aggressive wheel fitments.

I figured this thread would be good for those who are interested in "VIP style".

FLUSH and LOW

Wide wheels
Low off sets
Stretched tires

Share your insight and experience. What does it take to make it fit?

yeah I know it's big there... I just wanted a thread dedicated to it. There isn't much info on "Maximum" wheel widths, off sets, tires for the 2IS. I know there are so many factors to consider but a general advice or experience would be great.

well, the only flush people that are actually dumped (not on air) has pulled it off is me, Signal_JP, V.I.P. (erik), and chloe (2002IS). all the hawaii people have aggressive wheels but I believe most of em are on air.

heres my contribution:
