Any reason I'd have to replace antifreeze other than a leak? I'm under 20k miles still...

Was driving a POS 1999 Grand Am with summer performance tires, dealt with ice and blizzards in several states, rain/hail storms in a couple of the Eastern states, and many delays/detours. Was just me and a bunch of Red Bulls.

It was so-so. I got to speed test the G at the west end of Texas. Let's just say it only took a couple days FL-CA. Like he just said, just me and a bunch of Full Throttles (Red Bull is made from genuine bull ****, no thanks).

why would u want to go stagger? oems are 19x8 in fronts and 19x8.5 in the rears.
im running all rears. some people like it more cuz u can actually rotate your tires to et maximum life out of them.

if anyone is interested i got 19 oem rays 19x8.5 all around 700 obo no tires.

The reason I want staggered is Because it came from the factory like that and it's how a coupe should be IMO. Why would they put staggered wheels on it if it didn't need it and/or make it perform better?

Not trying to start a fight just stating the reason why I want staggered.

I'm only staggered because I can't fit anything larger in the front. The best performance will come from the widest tire you can fit.

Mine are 17's and I believe they are staggered because they take a different tires size from the front.

EDIT

According to this I have :
17" 6 spoke (model??)
Front: 17"x7.5" +30mm offset
Rear: 17"x8" +33mm offset
