staggered fitment?


fizzle

Recommended Posts

Seeing as the standard size is 255 then yes. But people always like to have fatter rear tyres, looks good :)

 

Most aftermarket alloys for the supe come with 265 rear, 235front. Its not a million miles off so cant make that much difference surely ?

 

I would of thought it was better, but suppose its not that simple

Recognised standard/acceptable setups

 

stock 16's 8" 225's front - 9" 245's rear

stock 17's 8" 235's front - 9.5" 255's rear

Lexus GS300 SPort wheels 8.5" 245 fronts 10" 275 rears

 

so any where between these shouldn't be too bad.

 

Say you had the above 16" setup i'm really not sure that going to a non staggered 18's that were 8.5" wide and fitted with 225's (or 235's) front and 245's (or 255's) rear would cause too much problem.

 

I think you need to be aware that straying further from standard tyre/wheel/offset sizings will effect the handling, undoubtable some of these changes will effect things more than others, but i'm not qualified to advise here, all i'd say is the more you stray from 50mm offset, a staggered setup with ideal sized tyres for them the more chance you have of screwing things up....

my NA came with stock 16s with the same widths all arround. as far as i know this had never been changed since it was imported. :S

 

Do what i did and PM gaz at envy with the style of wheel you have seen and see what he has that will fit the supe :p

My wheels from envy were great fitment :D
