Staggered vs. Sqaure for a DD/light track purpose

[QC_ZHP]

Any interest Vas? We're relatively close as well.

Sorry for the thread jack Dario

I will send you a pm instead of cluttering this thread.

I'd also be interested in swapping around. I'm in the same boat as PirateZHP, tho: new tires with only a couple thousand miles on 'em (if that). The wheels aren't in great shape, and I'm not totally in love with the 135s. I think in a perfect world I'd have a set of 18x8s that I could use for snow tires, 18x8.5 or 9 Apex wheels for summer duty and another set of 17" wheels for track duty.

^You and me both brother lol.

A staggered setup will naturally lead to understeer, as you have more tire in the rear vs less tire in the front...combined with a stock car setup the car will push.

There are ways around this (some camber...big front bar) but depends on what you want to do.

Square will eliminate most of this (you will see some understeer I can almost guarantee) but it will not be as bad as staggered. Of course at this point you're going to run into fitment issues like you're describing

[PirateZHP]

Understandable. Keep it in mine though, would be nice since we're close. What tires and how many miles have you put on them? I could buy a new set for my fronts and we call it an even trade?

I have Conti DWSs with somewhere around 1000 miles... maybe slightly more...

Send me a PM if you want

If I can find a set of wheels, my old set of 135s could complete two squares.

Still trying to find a set of wheels, though. :/ Can't seem to find anything locally.

what if...we combine our two. Course I would want 8.5 all around LOL. but my rims arent in the best shape. :\

These TRMotorsport C2s are some cheap & lightweight wheels I was considering in silver or gunmetal. Only $144 with nice specs 17x8.5 ET40. Get these with some nice 245/40-17s all around from Tirerack mounted & balanced with quick shipping & no tax. Will get here by Friday Dario, u can cruise em this weekend lol! Also, there's a lot of rebates going on tires right now. U have plenty choices my friend.
