Correcto Kameamalu.... being aggressive is scary stuff man. Its nice to have wheels that kiss the lip but im more paranoid then ever... Plus i cant drive some particular places for fear of damages to my rims. Its def a nice thing to be, "aggressive", but for sure be careful.

see thats the thing... taking some things too far.

I'm running a 225/35/19 tire on a 19x8.5 +23 wheel (not 'scary' at all)
and I'm running a 245/35/19 tire on a 19x9.5 +22 wheel, (again, not 'scary' at all)

The thing is though, visually looking at my setup, anyone would see its a semi 'stretch'... but the safe thing about it is i'm within the mfr (toyo's) specs.

anyone who looks at my car in person thinks it looks off the hook... why on earth would you dare your life/saftey just for a 'look'??? vanity summed up...

at a minimum, stay within the mfr specs of what a tire can be stretched on (which I'm in). going beyond is rolling the dice with your life (tire/load ratings)

be safe all... seriously.

Good points, I still remember not too long ago when customization of sports sedans was a high-performance look.
