New Rims!!

[Mfever]

Unless you are putting down massive power (275+) then you are a complete poser running a staggered set up, and your car will handle like shit...

Well, the car will be putting down decent power later on down the road. But, i have decided to not go with the staggered set up.

i have a set of these rims. i run 255 in the rear 235 in the front on an e46. I can honestly say i dont like a staggered setup it sucks at handling. My next set of tires will be 235 all around.

Not if you run the same sized tire front and rear :)

That's what i did. :P 8 in the front 10 in the rear, 205 tires front and back.

Oversteer like whoa.

205 on a 10! WOW I need to see how that looks. I have 195 front on a 7.5" and 205 on a 9" wheel.

I think i am going to go with 17x8 in the front and 17x8.5 in the rear. I am looking at BFGoodrich KDW2s for my tir set-up.

Well you sure as shit didn't do it for performance... so what did you do it for?

[Yakinho]

It's a drift car kiddo.

When next season gets here and i finish working the bugs out of my turbo set-up.

Translation: I don't have any yet, because I haven't drifted it yet. But it's a drift car.

Onto the car. Love the paint job, love the wheels. But that staggered tire setup looks fucking stupid.

[Erick]

Proper staggered setups look great.

And not half of this forum will ever push their cars to the limit of breaking traction in the front or rear tires around a corner, so who cares how it performs? Honestly, if it came down to it, I side with the insurance companies that rather see someone understeer into an object than to spin and take out 4-5 more things with them.

I've pushed staggered and non-staggered tire setups, and I can say that on a simple staggered setup, oversteer and understeer still relies more on driver than anything else. Suspension setup is also key.

After my Homestead event, I actually prefer a staggered tire setup. I will be using 225s more often in the back now.
