Front wheels +23 rear wheels +45

would I technically have better handling if my front wheels were a larger offset than the rears? I was thinking about changing my spacers up and seeing what I can get to handle better. I'm at +35 right now but could go down to +23 in the front. As well as changing up the back to a lower ET.

So you want to lower both front and rear offsets? It will of course widen your stance but not necessarily improve your handling.

I think he wants to lower the front offsets and lengthen the back offsets in an effort to negate the effects that staggering presents. I think it would to induce more oversteer, but it sure would look hideous.

Well I wasn't necessarily planning on doing it just wondering about the semantics.

Did I correctly clarify your intentions? This confirmation will allow others to hopefully chime in.
