I'm not aware of ANY serious track guys that run ultra aggressive offsets. In fact, the majority of the track guys I know almost all stay within 5mm of stock offset. Super aggressive offsets are for guys that are after the "flush" look and/or people with clearance issues, or guys with free/cheap tires that are forced to run what they brung.

Wider than, or significantly wider than stock offset numbers, results in unfavorable suspension geometry that puts extra and unnecessary stress on the suspension components that leads to premature wear.
