Are there guidelines for what tire is considered stretched????? JK but seriously
20x10.5 whats a stretched tire?
19x10.5 ?
20x10
20x9 ?
Arent some tires made with a natural stretch such as Toyo, Falken, ect
Aggressive? What is considered aggressive for a coupe? Sedan?
Its pretty easy to buy a 20x10.5 +35 and up and stick a 295 on there....seems to easy and not too big of a deal. You could run a 285 or 295 Falken all day on 20x10.5 +25 to +30 all day. But with a Hankook I dont see it without major adjustments
For example, I know I have showed this a hundred times but Falken 20x10.5 +25 vs. Hankook 275/30 20x10.5 +27
Falklen streches all day
Hankook

I think the mentality has sort of evolved to become a competition when it comes to pushing the limits in wheel and tire set-ups; trying to 'one-up' the next guy. When you say something is "too easy and not too big of a deal" what does that mean? That more respect should be given to the guy/car who puts a tire that is, by all tire manufacturers calculations, too small for the wheel with an offset that is, realistically, not meant to fit a certain application? I understand the hellaflush craze/fad/trend (whatever you want to call it) and I really like some of those set-ups, but I don't think "aggressiveness," how much negative camber, how little tire can actually meet the pavement, or how close one can come to having their exposed wheel lip smash their fender should be the gauge as to what is a "big deal." I think much lies in how one interprets the word "aggressive," as well. For a coupe, compared to stock, a 10.5" (+25) is aggressive. Compared to someone running a 11" (+5), it is conservative.
I love the variety in different set-ups and just because I wouldn't do it myself does not mean that I do not (or cannot) respect the work that goes into running low offsets and barely squeezing a narrow tire under the fender. Personally, I think that belongs more on a big-body car than a car that is, for all intents and purposes, considered a sports car/luxury sports car. I don't love Hellaflush set-ups on Zs and Gs because I think those were cars designed to be driven; albeit, Zs a bit more aggressively than Gs. I have seen "aggressive" offsets on GT-Rs, but I have yet to see a ridiculous Hellaflush stance that makes me cringe and shake my head. When I do (and once the prices drop a bit more, I'm sure I will), I will probably cry...

Simple, go on Tirerack, enter a wheel width and see the recommended tire width. If it's well below it, then it's a stretch and does not qualify for this thread

I had them on my old coupe and I wasn't really a fan. I'm guessing you haven't had them long since you haven't had any complaints about how loud they get, but like the 452's they will get pretty loud later on. They have a great tire life but I wanted something a bit stickier. They do have an excellent tread pattern and good wet handling surprisingly
