Opinions on wheels....

[Steve]

That's pretty much the look I think I'm going for... just on a black car and lowered... I like it! I got the windows done today, so it's coming together!

Very clean and understated. I dig it.

What are y'all's thoughts on staggered vs. the same front to back? I could do a 19x8.5/19x9.5 or 9.5" all the way around...

nice car paul. you still have the mach???

god bless.

Yeah, I just rip off other peoples car pics

[Doug Hatton]

SOOO, staggered or not?

[dville_gt]

staggered fo sho, only pita is not being able to rotate at all since they will surely be directional as well.

[Doug Hatton]

The main reason I'm considering staggered is because I can keep the 4 tires that are currently on my car and use them for the fronts since they'll be the same size as what's on the front now.

I would go staggered.

Not because there is any performance benefit (there isn't) and it makes rotating tires impossible.

But it does look a lot better IMO. These cars have a wedge-ish shape to them, so a slighter wider wheel with a slightly taller tire looks best. If you run the same size wheels/tires all the way around, the rear wheel looks lost in the wheelwell. See the gray car above - wheels are sweet, tires are too small.

when it comes to automotive style, i'd listen to this guy

when it comes to hair care, not so much

Staggered. That's really the main thing I have against the wheels on the red car pictured in post #1 - they look like FWD wheels all the way around.
