Non Staggered?

I have 2004 G35 Coupe, and was wondering if I can run a non staggered setup?
I was thinking of putting on wheels that are 20x8.5 all around with perhaps a 255/35/20 tire or something similar. Is this ok? Or would I experience any problems?

I know typically it is preferred to get staggered wheels for our car since the stock wheels are staggered, however I am getting a really good deal on these wheels, and wouldn’t mind grabbing them if they would work ok.

Thanks

Eh should work ok but your wheels will definitely look like they're afraid of the dark... unless your running spacers as well

Running same diameter all around can cause VDC issues. Many threads out there of that happening.

That's a part of our cars that needs to be permanently disabled.

It can be just as dangerous having it on as off. I prefer drivers be more intimate with their cars and their limits.

Only children use bumpers when bowling...

Yes, I should have thrown a smiley face after the bowling comment, I was being facetious.

But honestly, the VDC shuts the car down at times so much so, you're in more danger than without. Try scooting across a busy intersection. Wheel spin triggers VDC, which shuts power down, actually keeping you in harms way longer than if just spinning a little.

Also, driving up againt the VDC on turns and water doesn't teach a driver to learn the car, they rely more on the car to keep them safe.

I'd prefer drivers that know their cars limits better.

My opinion, and I do recognize the benefits of it. Don't think I don't.

I just think at this stage in tech, we either have fully automated cars or we drive much less distracted and more aware.

Soapbox done, I'm not perfect either. I know I know.
