Default Non-staggered wheels with staggered tires?
Has anyone done this? Is there an advantage to this or would it be pointless?


Considering doing these but they only come in 19x8.5 +35 & +45:

Personally I wouldn't. I would just run a 245/35 all the way around. It would just look weird if the front tires were more stretched than the rear or if the rear buldge out and the front dont. Thats just my .02

I'm working on a $1500 budget for wheels (no tires). Options are sorta limited.

I was looking at a set of work euroline dh's but found out one of the barrels was cracked and repaired, so i'm passing on those. Also considering the MRR HR3, but i think i'd rather go 19 than 20.

+35 I would stay with and I vote no to staggered tires on non staggered rims. It will make the side profile look different as the ratios will be off.

TONS of SWEET options in that price range!

Linea Corsa Dyna's (http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5862) are great looking, Forgestar F-14, which I have, are an outstanding choice (http://www.forgestar.com/blog/?p=103), and AXIS Elite are good representations (http://www.axiswheels.com/view-wheel/axis-elite).

Do your homework....do work

Rotiforms are for the Germans. As everybody else has said, you can find some sicker staggered wheels for 1500.

I'm with everyone eles. Scrap those wheels and go to the member or vendor classifieds. I just picked up a set of wheels for under 1500 brand new, staggered, and shipped.
