Need input, An offset is to correct for larger or smaller width wheels. The correct offset is one that allows the wheel to put equal pressure on the wheel bearings which follows with the tyre sitting on the surface as flat as designed by the original manufactures suspension spec's.

So, my question is, what IS MEANT by an aggressive offset......... real question ???????

Low offset...instead of +40, a + 20 would be "more aggressive". People are going after low offset to have more concave wheels/bigger-wider lips. "Deep dish"

I guess the 'aggressive offset' is what makes the car look low and wide at the same time. The lower offset makes the wheels/tires more separated and wide. But it has many different meanings. I for one don't see how a 10" wheel with a 215 width tire aggressive. Lol.

This is aggressive lol:

Megan Ez Street. And thanks webby a picture helped a lot. I think ima just stick to a +40 -45 offset lol. Although a +25 offset would look sexy af but the aggressive camber is going to rape my tires.

Why do you need to change the camber if you can get the offsets you want with the correct wheels ? I not seeing why a wheel needs to be mounted so it rides on the inside edge of the tyre, if having the correct offset can be had.??????
