How Aggressive Can I Go?

Nope, youll for sure need a roll and maybe a pull
17 x 7.5 5 x 114.3 FRONT
7 x 8 5 x 114.3 REAR
Offset Options:
Front: +35, +38, +40, +42, +45, +48
Rear: +32, +35, +45, +47, +48
With the above wheel sizes whats the lowest offset i can go without fender mods?
Also, what tire sizes should i go with if i want a slight stretch?
THANKS!
If you got the +48s with those front and rear you will be fine with a little camber depending on tire size...
I had a slightly more aggressive setup (in the front and close to the same for the rear) 18x9 +55 all around.. Had 225s in front and 255s in rear and I ran -1.5 and -2.5 degrees of camber with 0 toe.
You won't need any camber for the front but maybe close to mine for the rear.
You could do 215/245 for tires and probably get away with no added camber

my only problem with those offsets especially the 7.5 +48 is that is seem so sunk inside the wheel well in the front. i have an old pair of wheels that are 8"+42 up front and when they are on i cant stand the look because its so far in.

ok, so +48 for the front and rear.
What tire sizes should i get to obtain some tire stretch. Not much but just alittle. Just so the rim barely sticks out.

If you want decent width tires *and* a stretch look, you'll want to go to wider wheels.
But don't be one of "those" guys who runs super-low offset narrowish rims and skinny tires.
oh didn't know th rears were 8" thought it was 8.5...
You could go more aggressive honestly... it really depends what you are looking for. Do you want wheels that will fit about stock? Then 17x7.5 +48 and 17x8+48 will be the closest,. If you want to run stretched tires I would look for wider rims in slightly more aggressive offsets.
If you just want a flush look you could probably do about 17x7.5 +40 (maybe 38) and 17x8 +35 (or 45 if you wanna be safe but it won't be as flush)

I want to be aggressive as i can without modding the fenders.
As I stated before all the wheel and tire mumbo jumbo baffles me, thats why I am asking before i order my wheels and tires.
I am lowered on Skunk2 springs, so id say about 1.5"-2".
I dont mind negative camber. I dont want awhole lot bc id rather not go through tires like crazy, but some isnt an issue.
On that subject, how would i go about giving the wheels negative camber? Would I have to order a part to do that or what?
So, with all that being said. Whats the MAX aggressive stance i can go without modding my fenders with a slight wheel poke from my tires?
THANKS Again everyone for your help.
BTW, this is the stretched tire look im going for:
