Staggered Tires or All same size??

eldo33 · 02-23-2006, 02:37 AM

I'm curious for those that have Sport package option, do you prefer to use staggered or use all the same sizes?

If use all same size with the Sport package, does it look weird and is it good to go with this option?

My car is coming soon and I wonder which option will be good to go with.

Let me know your opinion(s)...thanx.

It's personal preference. I chose to do the same size all the way around, as it allows you to rotate tires, and save a little on tread wear. You can still get the staggered effect by adding spacers.

Some prefer the staggered look and don't care about tire wear.

the rear wheels are wider

it would look wierd to have smaller tires on the rear than stock...

The Sport Package is staggered, but the non-Sport is not. It doesn't look weird on my car, provided you buy wheels with the right offsets and use a spacer if needed.

The staggering is due to the wheel/rim offset not the tyre size.

Sports have wider rear wheels (8.5") than front (8") so you can't put the same width tyres on both, they would look ridicuous and not fit properly.
