So you want visual performance at the expense of mechanical performance? There are plenty of examples of what you are looking to do in the 2IS world, and jiggawh0's car is probably one of the most extreme. CalitriSC's is also one of the better ones.

Just don't complain about tire wear or plan to do track days with this configuration. It won't work.

Thanks for your condescending reply- but now I seem to have better range of what different offsets will yield me. I plan to find a happy medium of "visual performance and mechanical performance", will continue the search for wheels!

Thanks for the help.

Sorry you feel that way. I pointed out two of what i consider the best examples of doing it right if stance is your goal. Stance and mechanical performance are mutually exclusive. I'm not trying to be condescending, just realistic about expectations.
