Widest / Most Aggressive wheels on a sedan?

Yes it is lowered with H&R springs (1.2F, 1.0R)
Front wheels are 20x8.5 with 245/35's
Front offset is +20 but I don't believe it because there is not much of a lip on them. I would bet it is more like a +35. The offset is not marked on them for some reason and Zenetti only lists a +20. Maybe it is??
Rear offset is +43 and with the fenders rolled I could not fit more than a +40, they are very close. We tried a 285/30 and it was not even close to fitting.
Here are some older pics.
I changed the tail lights to the 05's with the bluebatmobile GTR tinted overlays but I don't have a picture yet.
The side pic has the old rear wheels which were also 8.5's not 10's.

Thanks Ttrank,
I'm looking at getting a rim with a 4" lip on 20" rims. I know this is not an easy find. I want the Axis Penta's which are available in 20X9 front and 20X10 rear with 4 1/4" lip. But I don't think 20X9 fits the front of sedans. Do you know if anybody has Axis Penta's in 20" for sedan.

Just because the sport is growing, doesn't mean making an easily oversteering car a good thing. Exactly why would I even want to "handle" an oversteering car, when I can just handle a neutral car? I don't get the logic.
If oversteer is the objective, why are you putting the fattest wheel/tire on the rear anyway? That promotes understeer.
NASCAR is one of the most popular motosport in the USA right now. But I'm not out there staggering my tire size (left/right) to make the car turn left any easier.

I guess if you are interested at NASCAR, you shouldn't be on an import car forum.. we are talking about refinement or skills here.. not raw power or american muscle, "IMO".
Moreover, stretching the tire really has its own application as opposed to what you have said as unwise or whatever, even though I wouldn't do it myself cause I do some spirited driving all the time... + tracking

how about 8.5 offset +30 up front and 9.5 offset +38 in the back?

I don't have a big drop, just the 350z springs.
