I have used both and installed both, the bolt on ones are fine just make sure they are torqued down like lugs, and get the hubcentric style with either ones. The install of the extended studs will be more involved, it is a pain.

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but from looking at most of these pictures in this thread. My understanding of "aggressive" is when the tires+wheels stick out from the fender?

it depends, some people look at it two different ways. Some people think aggressive is going apeshlt with Offset, like if they're in the negative offset category it automatically makes their **** bigger.... but in the end they just end up with a huge amount of camber that's hard to justify unless you're doing the full blown Japanese VIP thing.

The smarter guys know that truly aggressive is the perfect balance of offset, camber and low!

these dudes I applaud since I personally think that the best stance is achieved with these steps.

-- get the car low enough for the fender to sit between an inch or 2 away from the lip of your wheel, but make sure your tire is stretched enough to tuck into the fender wall
-- set up your camber so your wheel sticks out about half an inch or even an inch past the fender (this depends on how stretched your tire is)
-- stiffen up your suspension, you do not want your fender hitting your wheel lip right where the tire meets it possibly puncturing your tire

I hope you don't do that, you know how much that is...
