Might help if you tell us the wheel sizes!

Sorry, mine are 19x8.5s in front and 19x9.5s at the rear.

Oh, definitely 275s in the rear to complement the 245s in the front. What are the offsets?

kapdori

I believe its 37 front 39 rear

On staggered 19s the normal setup would be 245/35, 275/30 or you could go fat (a bit taller) setup with 245/40, 275/35. I have the fat setup on 19x8.5, 19x10 but I don't think putting 275 on a half inch narrower rear rim is an issue.

What is the benefit of staggered setup verses non staggered setup? how about down side?
I think I will go with 235 front, 265 rear or 245 front and 275 rear with fat setup since I want to improve ride a little from tires.

Benefits are
some think it looks better, I do.
More traction, especially in then rear, if you have FI and skinny tires you will spin them all day long if your not careful in how you accelerate. Even with the wider tires in the rear, I have 285 I can still spin them at will.

Down side is that you cannot rotate them any longer, so you may get less life on a set of tires. If you are going to go staggered it makes sense to go as wide as possible in the rear, why wouldnt you.

Well you already have staggered rims so kind of a done deal. But staggered rims look better because the rear wheels can be bigger because you don't have to turn them and on a rear wheel drive car bigger rear rims/tires provide more traction.

The down side to staggered rims is you can't rotate front to back.

But perhaps you're asking about staggered tires on your staggered rims? Well, to fit the rims you NEED to put staggered size tires on your staggered rims.

My rims came with 235/35 and 265/30 tires on them and they looked WAY too skinny to me both in width and sidewall height.
