^ Whats this tools problem, Heaty why don't you read the question instead of being a jackass. The question involves wheel measurement/size and if the wheels will fit or not. 04sk619 these wheels should be ok, you will be rquired to use different tire sizes-someone correct me if I am wrong. Pretty sure these are ok
It will work, its the Drop and tires sizes will be the deciding factor. Just remember the car will not handle the same as with a staggered set-up. Take some time to get used to the new set-up before really pushing the car.

There may be rubbing on the rear as someone has mentioned, also its not even a staggered setup that should be on an S in the first place. Did he just have different sized tires? If wider on the rears, even moreso more possible rubbing.

staggered setup.....i'm sorry for my noobness, is this where the rear tires are wider then the front?

How much of an effect will these setup have on the performance of the car?

Noticeably. Most knowledgeable people would recommend keeping the staggered setup, otherwise the front end tends to wonder. And yes, you are correct. If rear tires are wider than the front, that is "staggered".

It will affect the handling a great deal. The car is set up for appropriate handling with a very specific front and rear footprint. Now, do people screw with this and sometimes upsize while attempting to maintain stagger? Yes they do.

Still, if it were me, I would not go there without doing a great deal of research and would need to be prepared to purchase new rubber again if the handling did not work out.

I will be running Falken ZE-512 245-40-18 Rear and 25-40-18 for the front.

Will this be a problem? Even though the rims aren't staggered but the wheels are.....would this work out?

Has anyone here done anything like this?
