rotating on staggered rim and same tire size
Hi all, i have staggered rims with snow tires and 225 all around. Can i put the wider rim up front to even out wear or is it not suggested?
Thank you

Why dont you just pay whatever it costs for a tire place to put the same size tires on the front and the others on the back (take em off the rims and swap em i mean)
I dont think its a good idea to run staggered with wider up front...

Why do you have staggered rims with the same tire width?

OP, there will be no problem whatsoever with putting the wider wheel up front if it fits. It might not look good, but it will drive fine and there will be no sacrifice in handling.

 OP - Wider wheels in the front will fit fine but I wouldn't recommend running them like that to even out the tread wear. I would go to a shop and flip the tires.
