The only reason I remember this is because he made a post about breaking his finger while trying to stop the rim from spinning .
PQ and his DONK wheels..... What a debacle that was.... There is so much more to the story.... Yup, he broke a finger trying to spin the wheel with his fingers inside the spokes, right up until he found the caliper... "(SNAP") "ahhohhowweeeee..... $%^%^*&(^*

Maybe you can even end up running a fully square setup with all 4 rear wheels, if they end up fitting in the front. People usually buy another full matching wheel set, and then swap the front and rear wheels to make two complete square wheel and tire setups.

So interestingly enough, the guy I bought a set of 45th wheels from last night (for just $200 for the set!) suggested the same (try a square setup). Just curious on how that would impact cornering / off the line performance?

Usually a square setup is recommended for handling so should be better if you haven't changed sway bars to match a non-staggered set up.
