Should i go staggered????
cant decide if i want 9" all around or 9 in the front and 10" in the back. is it worth the extra inch, traction wise???? knowing i cant rotate my tires is also a concern since im by no means in the money lol what is the price difference from 9inch wide to 10 ince wide tires? what would yall do....
thanks guys!

Depending on how much you drive, you could do it. I would just stick with 9" and run some spacers if you're driving a lot. It does look good with the staggered (in a very good way). But I really like my staggered set up.

I started out with 9" all the way around. It was a big improvement over stock, but once the first set of tires wore out(30,000 miles later), I bought a pair of 10.5" and I wouldn't go back. The 315 tires are a fair amount more than the 275, but I get 30,000 miles from a set so the price isn't bad.
I don't think the traction difference is significant, but beware that the extra weight of the 10.5's will actually make your car a tad slower. You can see it in your trap at the track when you run heavier wheels/tires.
As for spacers with the 9" wheels... 1" spacers are too much(I tried them on my car and they looked funny). You might be able to get away with running about 3/16" spacers with your factory studs, but that is about it. It would require new studs to use a 1/2" spacer.
