Conservative in my opinion are the cars below...probably need only fender rolling/trimming only...
I think both look great, to me...
Now, going aggressive would require tire stretching, fender rolling/trimming, and running negative camber...
Now, don't get me wrong, the car looks sick in everyway rollin' down the street, but just not typical for everybody. I just don't see how preaching having your wheels look like the last 2 pictures is right. I like to drive my car EVERYWHERE and i'm sure others are the same, so having that type of aggressive/extreme fitment is not for everybody.
Again, the last 2 pictures look insane and if I had tons of disposable money, I would be doing the same because I would be going through tires like no other...My point here is that the first 2 setups should not be frowned upon and they still turn heads without having to go to these extreme wheel fitments.
Wheels should be flush with the car, yes...no argument there... Flush to me means |----|
Wheels that have to be run with negative camber just isn't practical ... /-----\
I hope you guys didn't mind that I used your pictures to help explain...

Sorry Griffin but telling others that SC is conservative is absurd...That car is running negative camber with stretched tires and a pretty low offset.
Conservative would be from the fender > in. Aggressive would be from the fender > out. And Tony just gave 2 examples of each.

IMHO, i think conservative offsets look great on our cars. Agressive offsets look great on our cars too, but IMHO, only depending on the style of the rim. I LOVE the way Griffin TT's car looks with his wheels.
So, with this post, i just wanted to say to everyone's who's posting comments about how bad their wheel fitment is, or how the car would look better if they had lower offsets... blah blah blah.... Just relax! Some people are happy with their conservative offsets.
HOw come no one bashes on Din's car with canovers? What about OG member Manaray?? Heck, even infamous Streetking???? Surely they can use more agressive offsets right? But they chose not to.... well, Din bought his rims used so he didn't have too much of a choice, but SW bought his new and CHOSE to stick with conservative offsets.

It seems like we always end up arguing about wheel offsets here, whenever someone posts pics of cars with different offsets, lol. Personally, i could careless what offsets you guys running on your cars, i am just happy with mine.

yeah my wheels stick out a bit, I can see how someone doesnt lik ethat, but I think the wheels should be atleast flush with the fender. The sunken look just doesnt look aggressive

i've driven most places in new york city.. there are times where the road looks tough but i just go slow and i can make it mostly anywhere..
but, maybe next summer when i have a little more funds, i plan to be somewhere along these lines:
