Is it worth leaving staggered
I like the stock look and the rims I want aren't. What do you lose in terms of performance? I assume the rwd staggered set up is optimal

I'm assuming you're looking at 235 width tires all around? You really should be thinking of going up to 255 or 265 in the rear if you're modded stage 2.

So far with stock set up with 245 in the back The tires do just fine, minus from a dead stop. though it isnt like i am dragging every day. I assume with better than stock tires the rear would hold up even better?

Most that do it for a performance aspect tend to go 255 square.

That would be a 9.5 rim right?

So I need to run 19x8.5 35et Square set up. Wheels I want only come in square set up. I am driving a Stock Car- X drive.
What tires can I run, so I don't have to make any adjustments to my car what so ever? 225/35/19 225/40/19 235/35/19 Will these work/ any other sizes? Second question, can I run any staggered tires on the same size rims? If so, what would I put on the back. I am open to suggestions. UT please keep it simple- I dont want to make any mods. Thanks so much for the help! |

Not necessarily true. There's a guy on here that had BMW inadvertently mount a 245/35R 18 on the stock 7.5" wide ET45 front rim and he drove on it for well over a year. http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1352752
This means you can in fact run a 245 on the front assuming you get the offsets just right. I'll be running a set of 18X8ET43 rims here soon. The rims sit the exact distance from the front strut as the OEM 18X7.5 ET45 (approximately 10mm from the strut). Considering the distance and the linked thread, I should have no issues running a 245/35R18 square setup which IMO, is ideal for this car on the street. The issue most guys run into with running wider tires in the front is related to the offsets and wheel widths they're choosing, 18X8.5 ET35 being the most common. These wheels sit within a few MM of the strut thus the tire overlap can rub the strut. That's why most run 225/40R18 (stretched) without suspension modifications. To run wider than 18X8 rims and wider than 225/40R18 tires requires some sort of camber manipulation in most all cases. |

I bought Anthony's rear stock rims 8x18 ET52 (thanks Anthony!) and put them on the front with Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/35R18s and 12.5mm spacers. As far as handling, this setup slightly delays the onset of understeer as you approach the limit. More importantly to me, since this isn't my track car, it provides a significant improvement in tire longevity because, with the stock alignment, the rear tires tend to wear on the inside and the front tires tend to wear on the outside.

Picture of 245/35/18 on Front
I am planning on doing a 245 square setup as well using stock 8/18/et52 rears on the front. I have both 10 and 12mm spacers I can play with for clearance.
Can you tell me how much clearance you have on the strut using 12.5 spacers? How does it look on the front? A picture or two would be great! Thanks in advance. |

Keep in mind that the wheels will go into negative camber on the upward motion. If you're at the stock ride height, there shouldn't be any issues.
