+2.....Ive had huge front lips on my fronts b4 and did not like how it was hard to tell that I had a staggard set up, the focus should be on the rear lip when doing a staggar d set up.

I disagree. IMO the staggered lip setup looks way more aggressive then having both large lip in the back and front. The whole point of a staggered setup is to emphasize the aggressiveness of the rear wheel, especially one with big lip. The GTS is a good example of this and its front lip is not really that small(4in). If you have a huge lip up front, the rear wheel as a whole loses its aggressive appeal. I think a big all around lip is good for trucks, SUVs and cadillac luxury type of car.

it really comes down to choice bro. I know what you mean but coming from 7 sets of wheels and most of them small lip/ huge rear lip i got tired of it and to me now it looks cheap. if you have a HUGE front lip and a even bigger rear it looks $$. but all comes down to your opinion and how much exposure to aftermarket wheels you have. here in so cali big lips are dime a dozen on G/Z. i like big fronts because most people still thing that small/big lip combo works the best. but trust me when lets say my set up or robzone's set up is sitting next to a standard GTS or small/big lip set up. Our set ups big/biger makes it stand out much more.

Its just comes down to personal taste on the car.

I totally understand where you coming from and I was speaking in a more general sense. I guess if I had enough money to swap wheel every other month I would probally get bored also and do the big lip up front, but for right now my GTS will do just fine.
