3GS wheel thread
ok quick question,the guys with the staggered set up, do you have rwd or awd cars, I have an awd and am looking into getting some 20's, and would like to do the staggered look but am worried about the damage it can do to my transmission since they wont be the same exact size and help would be most appreciated

I am staggered on a rwd, however I have seen quite a few guys stagger fit the AWD I don t think the width matters as much as making sure the overall diameter of the rim and tire selection are the same. the 245/30-20 and 285/25-20 are almost the exact same overall diameter.
Those specs are aggressive as hell, there are no camber arms for our cars some have used IS camber arms. There is no need to run such a wide width rim, my wheels overall diameter are super close to the same front and rear within like 1%
as mentioned in a lot of places already, staggered on awd is ok, as long as you are careful on tire selection. for example if you do 245/30 and 285/25, you will be fine. if you do 245/30 and 285/30, you are asking for trouble
How do we calculate what size of tire should use for rwd? Is there any website that can learn from or has a calculator for the tire measurement?

The guys from Vossen were in New York about a month ago and did a photo shoot of my car. Check it out.
I have the VVS-083 in 20x9 and 20x10.5. Finish is the silver machined with stainless lip.
Vossen has the best quality and customer service hands down!!

thanx for the info guys those were the measurements I had just was a lil concern because they werent the exact same size as stock, the front specs is 5.6mm off and the rear is 19.3 mm off circumference wise, and with trannies was just a lil scared on messing it up
What r the offset of your wheels?
I looked through this whole thread and many of you guys forgot to put in the offsets which is crucial on fitment. I was trying to figure out whats the most aggressive wheel size/offset i can run without trimming or rolling fenders w/a 1.8" drop.
Id like to run 20x9 w/245 35 20 front and 20x10.5 275 30 20 rear, my thoughts were +31 front and +43 rear with that size, but i don't know if i can push the envelope further....
