Default Pictures Of Staggered Wheel Setup

Anyone running staggered wheels on their SC. If so could you post some pics ? I'm thinking of running a staggered setup with some 17x7.5 (235/45) Fronts & 18x9 (275/35) in the rear but haven't seen many setups. Want to get an idea of how it would look.

Specs in signature. Achieved with no rolls or pulls.

Going more radical involves investment in fender mods and if the offsets are not favorable then spacers and other methods come into play.....

Most cars in the thread use a staggered setup. It is generally just one inch difference so it is hard to see anything unless the offset is also heavily staggered. With a few exceptions, aftermarket wheels tend to come that way. Stock wheels are a bit more likely to be all the same but also may come staggered albeit in less aggressive sizes..

What look are you going for? The setup you describe is potentially pretty mild and will fit easily depending on offset. There is also greater variation front to back than most setups you will see as your diameter is also staggered (fairly rare). My opinion is that the front wheel will look smallish and possibly sunken giving you a bit of rake front to back.
Do you know the offsets?

The ones on my car are +35 they fit good, touch of rub in the front with my drop on driveways, but that's really just a tire thing.
No rolls, 9.5 +35 rear/8 +35 front

What look are you going for? What do you like? flush, tucked, drag, aggressive, mild, old school stockish?
Are you going to lower it?

Yes, to get a good looking stance you definately want to lower your ride at least 2 inches
