Anyone running non-staggered?

brian3b · 04-24-2009, 12:13 PM

I'm looking at upgrading to 19's... found some 19X8 rims which recommend 235/35 tires. Since I'm currently running stock, 225/40 in the front and 255/35 in the rear, will there be any difference in the ride? if so, what? Anyone else running non-staggered? Thanks!

Also, Goodyear F1 A/S or Michelin Pilot Sport A/S??? I'm torn!

Alot of people run non staggered.
Almost all the xi I would imagine.
There would be a difference in the understeer.
The perks would be you can rotate your tires.

I run non-staggered tires on staggered wheels on my xi

I did it because #1 I didn't want to risk messing with tripping up the AWD system, and #2 because I didn't want to create even more understeer as is characteristic with an AWD car BUT... I love the look of a larger lip at the back so I went this unconventional route.

I run/ran a square setup. 18x8.5 245/40/18 all around

Many track guys or guys who look to routinely rotate their tires tend to do square setups. There is nothing wrong at all as long as you run the proper offset wheels and tire sizes.

Charles,
I'm looking to run 19s, would like to go 255 all the way around, is that too big for the front setup? If so, I'm assuming 245 would be my best bet? What kind of off-sets and I'm looking at for either of these? Thanks!

255's are possible in the front, but fender rolling may be required. I would suggest 245 all around and play it safe if you want a direct bolt on fitment. 19x8.5 +35 with 245/35/19 works.
