Default Can I get rid of staggered fitment on 2007 250 w 18" wheels

My 07 250 has OEM 225/40/18 on front & 255/40/18 on rear. Tire wear has not been good. Are there any issues with buying 225/40/18 wheels for the rear so that use 4 tires of same size and rotate them?

That would probably throw your speedo off like 3% and look a bit funny in the back. How about you jus get a alignment 2 times a year?

I don't think it'll throw off your speedo. I thought it was only if you get bigger tires in the overall circumference. Similar to lifted trucks. The tires are so much larger than stock. Not with.

Well if your running the stagger rims 8 and 8.5 no point in rotating.

im running 225/40/18 all around on my AWD, the speedo is off by like 1 or 1 and a half (going 80 on speedo, actaully going 79ish) other than that no problems really but my next set of tires will be 235/35/18

p.s. i have the is350 staggered oem wheels also
