Default F-Sport Wheel Question
OK...stupid question so please don't flame me. Are the 18" F-Sport Wheels (factory rims) staggered? I think I just noticed that the rear wheels are a little more "concave" than the front. Or am I just seeing things?

Only the 19" wheels are staggered.

The 18" wheels come in only one size. 18x8

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2008/2154.html


The 19" wheels come in 19x8 Front and and 19x9 Rear

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2008/1807.html


Basically, the 18" wheels are made for those with AWD...

Someone please explain the term "staggered" to me. I thought if the rear rims are "wider", more concave or "deeper" than the front, they are considered staggered.

Stagger a term for when the rear is wider than the front using different tires front to rear as well.
