Please do not move me entirely to the Wheels forum..
Anyways, Im not going to put the BR5's on my car, mainly b/c I dont have staggered set. And I do agree that it would look alot nicer if I did. Anyway, any1 here have these rims, our even better a pic?
Im thinking about getting 19" F, and 20"rear. The Lexo's memebers w/ this set-up, do u guys run to into any problems?? http://www.hrewheels.com/Car/540Series/big540.htm

You didn't mention what kind of car... regardless, you'll probably need to remove the ABS fuse to disable the Anti-lock system. The ABS computer will almost certainly freak out due to the vastly differing diameter between the front 19" and rear 20"

What are you trying to accomplish in doing this? Going for the Pre-runner look? Why not just go 20s on all four?

And the million dollar question: why not go with the HRE 540R? The new lip style is sweet!

I think the wheel sensors would be fine as long as the overall tire diameter is close between the two. In fact, Dex is running a "dual staggered" affair. Smaller diameter wheels in front, and larger in the rear, plus the rears are wider also. As far as I know he's not having any issues.

Yep, no issues whatsoever. I love the look; subtle, but a tad more agressive.

So, you're running 245/35-19 front & 275/30-20 rear? Hmmm... the rears would be an inch taller. Not my cup of tea, reminds me of a '68 Camaro with ladder bars...
