Now aggressive means what? They were talking about that earlier.
Aggressive usually means an much lower offset from stock. The tire is going to be really close to the fender which might require rolling.

There are no variables, all relevant values can be measured or calculated if you simply take the time to do so.

Stock wheel is 7" wide, with an offset of 48mm. Apply basic math, and you can figure out whether a rim will stick out a bit more, or stay close to stock tuck. If you go to an 8" wide wheel, that means from the center-line of the wheel there will be an extra 1/2" of wheel to the inside, and an extra 1/2" of wheel to the outside. Theoretically, if you wanted to keep the same tuck as stock, you'd then want to add roughly 13mm to the offset (13mm being roughly 1/2"). If you keep the stock offset of 48mm, then that just means the wheel will stick out 1/2" further. Easy.

The hardest part of all the math is going back and forth between inches and millimeters (there's 25.4mm per inch, in case you're wondering). Seriously, who came up with these wheel size standards? Couldn't we have just stuck with the metric system for this one?

You can also go the lazy route and use something like http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html
