I ran a staggered set-up on my 06'GT LL(Raceline GT's) and a set on my 07'GTGhost Blingz).Running 20x10's (rear) and 20x8.5's front.275/35/20's rear and 255/35/20's front's,both sets.I would like to suggest running a 295/35/20 on the rear,the 275 are kinda short.
EF 07GTCS, how much does that extra 1" width in back affect handling, and how?
Please excuse my "newbie-ness."
I don't know exactlly, I think it would set with contact patch of the tire, a wider contact should yeild more traction which in turn could cause an understeer. I'm also basing it on road race cars tend to have a similar size tire front and rear; whereas drag race cars are opposit, fat rear thin front. Plus I see a lot of people say it looks sick with stagger but they don't say it make the car handle any better.
It's logical to me... if it's right I don't know 100%
Dude honestly When i was debating this i was considering tire rotation bla bla bla. But when i see a staggered car, i say whoa he is ready to rock! It just looks so much better, i really do not care about loosing 8k miles out of 40 for not rotating, because it is worth it to me when i get a boner looking at it lol.
I dont know about a boner, but I think it looks pretty cool. The problem is, I havent seen any staggered set-ups in person on a S197. Everyone that I have talked to explains that it is purely for show, no real advantages. Every time I think I have my mind made up, I end up changing it again.. I have 3 weeks till I get my $ to order them, so as many people that can post that have some imput would be helpful. Even if the point has already been made, your opinion wold still be useful.
