Default There is only one truth.

mechanical damage will nto occur is the rolling circumferences are the same. Do the math.

Handling (location of moment of inertia) dictates the need for more grip in the front - ergo bigger wheels. Most companies settle for same size.

big rears and small fronts is a recipe for crappy handling - excessive understeer. Pig-like.

Default What are you trying to achieve? Better off with a heavier sway bar on the rear.

You might have clearance issues up front.

Default Well, my car is a regular daily driver cruiser, I never go to any tracks or anything

I just want decent handiling, im fine with what I have now handiling wise.

Default wow, some of the STFA I have been doing is making me think twice about it

<center><img src="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn313/jnl3e/DSCN1278.jpg"></center><p>I guess some staggered is OK and some isnt at all, NOT sure which ones better than the other for the car. However, is the setup I want going to affect the car? It will be a 19x8.5 Front with 235/35/19 and a 19x10 in the Rear with a 265/30/19, here is a pic

Bad to some, silly to others. I'd skip it; it's rice.
