(There is only a 0.81" difference in circumference and 0.26" difference in diameter) Can anyone help with this because I was really looking forward to getting staggered 20" Sevas S-22 wheels on my X. I appreciate it.
Yes, if you want to run staggered on the X you are going to have to remove the fuse. Oh and your tires sizes are correct.

FlyingLumpia, I will be very interested in knowing how non staggered wheels look on your car because I will probably have to do this also (maybe use a wheel spacer to kick out the rear wheel?)

Here non Staggered on my X
I think it needs to be lowered more or atleast the trim painted. What do you guys think. I am going to get the ut lip in the rear.

Getting new rear shocks will help the bouncing in the rear. There is not option for the front as of now unless you wantt o spend 1800 on coilovers from VRT.

If you mean Z-roadster, then the difference is 1/2" drop......Z = 1 inch drop (for sedan) and coupe = 1/2" drop (for sedan). Hope that helps.
