anyone running......?

[zoom^3]

staggered fit wheels like 18*7.5 front 18*9.5 rear? or anything like that?
Just thought it would be a little different

it messes up your awd.

not a great idea.

I think as long as the diameter (top to bottom) of the wheel is the same, the AWD or stability control won't be affected. However, the car has enough understeer without putting fatter rubber in the back so I agree with Killer.

no it wont. it is perfectly fine to run a staggered wheel setup on an AWD car (2thumbs)
(i.e. 19x9 rears, 19x8.5 fronts)

i think it gives the car a more aggressive look too(dance)

LBV...you have understeer issues in the speed? (scratch) don't know how lol. my speed is generally showing characteristics of oversteer, but not too much. a very nice balance when cornering i think.

I agree on the aggressive look, I didn't think it would cause a problem but I just haven't heard or seen anyone doing it...so I had to ask.
I will continue to ponder it until my disposable income meets up with my grandiose plans...

Actually, in retrospect it's not nearly as bad as I made it sound although I've never had oversteer.

I just got back from a weekend track event and the car did plow a bit on some corners but impressed overall. I tried lifting off the throttle a bit rounding a corner to see if I could bring the back end around a bit but I don't think I had enough speed to make it happen ... the car has bigger balls than I do. LOL

haha well i can promise you that you can oversteer this car just give it a little toss lol. but you actually don't need to, like you said just lifting off the throttle rounding a track corner i bet you could feel the back end almost give out huh..aaaw its a great feeling LOL.

i've never been on a track, but i would love to! atleast i live by backroads.

oh i did forget to mention, that a staggered setup may reduce any chance of oversteer ...and perhaps increase understeer. but i don't think it would matter much on this car. i honestly think that it would still pull through turns with just as good of handling. unless you go narrower than stock on the front..then i don't really know. keep us posted as far as handling affects go, if you do go through with it.
