staggered wheels on car
 
I am thinking about changing my wheels on my Mustang. I have 19 x 8.5 , factory wheels. I am thinking about staggered,,19 x 8.5 front, 19 x 10 on rear. Give it a different look.
Who hear has done it and liked it?
Will car feel the same, better, worse.

How would it look for a stang.

Thinking this from AM

2) 19x8.5 Black Deep Dish Bullitt Wheels
(2) 19x10 Black Deep Dish Bullitt Wheels
(2) NITTO INVO Ultra-High Performance Tire 285/35-19
(2) NITTO INVO Ultra-High Performance Tire 255/40-19

I did it and its awesome. I have 19x9's in the front and 19x10 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 car handles great. It's better in every category except " tire rotation". Check it out:

Yes it's ok they won't look as good IMO , ride should be about the same!

I put staggered on my 12 V6 and it looks great.

If you are still at the stock ride height it will look a little funny IMO. I put a staggered set of the 18" GT4 wheels on my 11 and with the wheel gap it just doesnt look good. That was with 265/35/18 and 295/35/18 BFG KDW's. It looks way better after I lowered it.

I put the 255/40/19 INVO'S on my stock wheels and will buy them again for a year round tire.

Yea but the profile of tire you picked with the 18inch rim was also shorter than stock. I went staggered and put the stock tires on the new 18x9 wheels looked fine front. for the back I put 18x10's with a 305/45/18 nt05r's. The rears are actually taller than stock tire height and looked amazing. now coupled with the car being lower looks even better.

I have not attempted this, but I believe it will make the car over steer more. If true, then a set of adjustable sway bars might be a good idea so that you can dial out the over steer.

Honestly, if you want your rims and tires to look good on these mustangs, the car HAS to be lowered. The wheel gap on these cars are insane.

If you want a rotation friendly setup hypermotiveperformance.com has a setup of 19x10 Ace wheels, I'm picking them up in two weeks!
