spacers are what they sound like. the add space between the wheel and hub. making the wheels stick out more..

if you noticed your OEM wheels are sitting a little tucked in, a spacer can be put in to make it flush with the fender or stick out like a low rider.

 

If you go with staggered you have to conside tire wear. Since you cannot rotate tires fron to rear your rear tires will wear faster on a rwd car. Make sure you consider the increased cost of tires before you take the leap for staggered.

 

Why are you considering running staggered?

 

19's look better IMO

tires are def. more expensive

 

Most people here will tell you to go with 19 or 20 but for me ride is vary important since i have a 2month old so i went with 18's with alot more meat on the tire, i didnt want to feel everything on the road so i think for me 18 was the best choice. i also got staggered wheels im running 8in front and 9in rear with offset of 38mm had to do some rear fender rolling but other then that ive had not to complain about. So my choice is 18's


sorry for the crappy phone picture....

 

If you are not going to drop, stay with the 18" tires/wheels. It will give you more sidewall to cushion the wheels. Also the 18" will look better than 19" without a drop. 19" will just make it look like an AWD car.

 

Thanks for your inputs guys.. I decided to go with 18'inch wheels. Another question: how hard it is for a local tire store to swap and install the tmps to the new wheels..

 

I really like the staggered look..

 

Easy, they are a part of the valve stem and unscrew from the rim. 5 min job for all 4 rims. Just make sure the rims you buy will fit them.

 

how do i find out if they fit? i am looking into getting tsw laguna 18' staggered..
