I am going to buy some TSW Thruxton wheels and am trying to decide to run a stagger tire setup or not. The wheels are 18x8 with a 40 offset. I'd run 235/45-18 on all four, or stagger tires with 225/45-18 front and 255/40-18 on the rears-you know the aggressive BMW M series look! Any thoughts besides not being able to rotate wheels to any location? Also, what tires would you run on the stagger setup? Those two sizes are hard to find in same tire series without getting a second mortgage.

 

you could run those staggered tire sizes with the Dunlop SP9's and it would look sick!

 

It depends on what is most important to you.
Looks or handling?

Keep in mind that the more the stagger the more you will increase understeer.
You can decrease the effect of increased stagger with a larger rear sway bar.

 

Is it just me or do the Thruxtons look small on cars?
