Wasen't sure if this is where this topic belongs or not mods please move if necessary. I just wanna know if it is necessary to have the rear wheels wider than the fron for other reasons more than traction issues. Will it throw the car off balance or anything. I'm just asking because I can get an awsome deal on some 18 inch axis's wheels right now but they're discontinued and the last set the store has they are all the same size for a normal car. I just want to know as long as I'm not racing or auto crossing could I just cruise around on these? I'd keep my stock wheels for events and stuff. Any insight welcome

 

Wrong forum....but no it's not required. If you go with a none staggered setup you will induce oversteer which is NOT good.

Recommend staying staggered.

As mentioned above:

Wrong forum.

Stay staggered.

 

The early AP1's do not need more oversteer.

wow did thye live after that crash? looks like the tree or pole won

 

dear mother of god!

 

Those are all stock rims in those pics, stop trying to scare people

 

The tires were mis-matched.

 

The driver survived this crash. The extent of the injurys was a concussion.

Had there been a passenger, the outcome may have resulted in a death.
