18s staggered or non staggered?
so I'm downgrading to 18s i had 19" m6 reps staggered but the ride wasn't to fun on jersey roads lol so I'm getting csl matte black in 18's but I'm not sure if I should go staggered or not. I have XI and never notice anything wrong with staggered but I'm really confused on this situation lol. some input would be fun to read

I don't think I'm going to do staggered anyway but honestly a lot of XI owners are running staggered i don't notice anything different other then more traction on the road

no staggering needed because of AWD traction. Staggering is for looks - but is not supposed to have any negatives on performance - how else would those german engineers agree to do the xi/sport staggerred?
On the other hand, porsche provides staggered setup as stock on some AWD models.

Need help on this subject too! I have never had staggered setup on this car. Are there any advantages? What would a spacer do to a non-staggered?

dont use spacers if you can .. stagerred is basically wider rear tyre, so you get biiger patch on the road, more traction. with spacer you just pushing the wheels out. Looks same probably, but putting stress on suspension and so on. don't do it, get staggered.

I prefer non-staggered for XI models. Still looks great with the same size wheels all around.

i have non staggered 19's, the ride feels about the same as my 17" rft's honestly...but i'm always scared shitless that i'll bend a rim hitting a pothole. my next set of wheels will be 18's probably so i don't have a heart attack everytime i see a pothole.
