Staggered or non staggered?

[LS3 SS]

Staggered. You have a rear wheel drive sports car. Unless you want your car to look like a honda civic with the same size wheels and tires on all for corners, literally "hiding" underneath the fender, I would pay the extra coin and go staggered.

Who says RWD cars can't go fast in a straight line AND in the twisties. I just got rid of my 18x8.5/18x11 F14s and ordered some 18x10 F14 all the way around.

Who says it isn't broke and you may not realize it? GM has to design for the unskilled drivers first, hence the understeer built into the stock setup.

I'm pretty sure that no one every commented that Pedder's Camaro looked like a Civic....

Having said that, CAMAROssRS, just do what you like the look of most. I run a non-staggered setup (275/40R20) and it helps a lot in removing the excess understeer so the car feels more neutral in the curves. I like the look of the staggered fitment (most of the time) but I prefer better handling over looks when I'm driving. My next set of wheel will be lighter than stock and I'll continue to run a non-staggered fitment, but that's what works for me...do what works best for you and your budget.

Both of you took my text out of context. Obviously a road race/track car is going to have a different staggered setup than your average street car. If we are trying to be funny to prove a point, that's cool, but if we are trying to help this person make a decision on how he wants his car to look, then I will stick with what I said first.

I just checked and can't find anything saying that GM has designed our cars for track purpose , so i have to assume that it was for normal every day driving . So off course if you are going to use it in a way that it wasn't intended for something is going to give up sooner than expected , but hey, there is always aftermarket parts that make it look better and meaner , but also does not guaranty that's BETTER , or does it ?

Who said anything about using my Camaro for the track? It's sole purpose is a daily driven street car...it's never been on the track. No reason you can't apply track tested ideas for street applications...

I am with you on this one , but you have to make sure that the roads that one drives every day are in top quality [ asphalt wise ] , no puddles , oil laying around the corner , gravel , sand and soccer balls specially ,because there is always a kid after one ball .
