Anyone with staggered set up?

STI4AMG · 02-23-2007, 01:25 PM

I use to have a E36 M3, and one of the things that i loved about the car was the staggered rims. I know you cant go bigger than 8.5 width on 06 sti, but i was thinking of doing like 18x8 in front and 18x8.5 in back with different width tires as well. any comments from anyone that has done that before? or any opinions on the idea?

plan to get new rims, not a huge fan on the stock look.

WTF?!

please give me your reasoning to run wider wheels in the rear?

do you have issues getting "REAR" traction?

if anything you're going to run a wider wheel in the front.

and you have to run the same size tire all around anyway.

so the benefit of the added turn in is rarely acheived on the street unless you drive like an asshat all the time.

so no, not a good idea.

no it wouldn't.

it'd look like ass.

Those diffs really do hate getting f'd in the a, don't they?

If the only thing you did was take your car to shows, I bet it would look pretty cool...but it would only look cool if you forgot that the car was AWD and how wrong it was.
