Important Question about Staggered Setup

Im considering getting 18" volks, 9.5 rear, and 8.5 fronts, and was just wondering how you get your wheels rotated when it is a staggered setup? Does it cause a problem with wear? thanks a lot guys

You can't rotate tires with a staggered set up. The only way to rotate the tires is if you get "bi-directional" tires, which means you can flip them in both directions. With staggered setup and with "bi-directional" tires, you can rotate the front tires by switching sides, and you can rotate the back tires by switching sides. But you can't rotate front to back or back to front. Does this make any sense?

They could be asymmetric, as long as they're not directional.

Side to side rotation is possible if you can reverse the direction of rotation.
