In your opinion what tire set up would look more aggressive with these offsets?

Depends what kind of aggressive. If you want a fat meaty tire kind of aggressive. A 265.

If you want to slam your car and avoid possibly rubbing, I'd get a skinnier tire.

As posted earlier, here is SDGenius' setup. His rear being 33 to your 30, making yours 3mm more aggressive (not much), so a 265 should be fairly similar to this.

Also, hes running Michelin Pilot Sports, which run wider than other tires.

Marcus' setup is not meaty. His setup is more aggressive and stretched.

If those specs allow you to run meaty tires with little camber (Since those specs are similar to SDGenius), you could go with maybe a 205 up front, and 215 rear. then add a spacer front and rear.

Someone get Blain or Marcus in here.

yeah. marcus and sdgenius are super different. marcus' professors are wider than 8.5 and 9.5 as well. But stretch wise a 205 on a 8.5 might be similar. unless you wanna dip into the 185-195 tires lol.

But I wouldn't know. Never dealt with anything skinnier than 9.5
