Staggered wheels or not???
hey everyone...
I am looking into gettin some new wheels for my ride.
Here are the specs:
Front:19x8.5, Rear:19x9.5
5x100/114.3/120
HPO - Hyper Black
Tires: Front 245/35/19, Rear 275/30/19
I read the sticky thread about staggered wheels and it seems there are two oppinions on it...so i thought I'd do a poll to see whats everyone thinks. I dont know much about wheels and such thats why I need help...thanx.

I'm running this same setup (though I'm using a 235/35 tire up front) with a pretty significant drop and nothing rubs.
Just make sure your rear offset is at least +43 and your front is at least +35.
+45 in the back would be even better. I think +47 to +50 is as deep as you can go on a 9.5" rim without hitting the strut.

I went with non-staggered because I really love the way the RX-8 handles. It's my daily driver so I didn't want to sacrifice any performance just for style.
I agree with NgoRX8. If you want aggressive, then get 9.5 all around. Looks mean as hell. Just keep in mind that if you go 19", be sure you get wheels that aren't going to weigh a whole lot more than stock. You'll definitely lose some performance if you select the wrong ones.

really? wow thanks, i've been wondering whether to get 9.5's all round (hate to go through the trouble of rolling fenders), staggered (handling?), or 8.5's all round (seems too thin).
what if they were 9.5" all round +40 offset wrapped with 275/30/19 with an 1 inch drop? (.8" swift springs)

Im kinda leaning towards having the same all around whether 8.5 or 9.5s. But I dont know what size tires to get or offsets.....
love the rims by the way...
