Would staggered 16x7 +35 16x8 +38 be noticable?
I know staggered is stupid on a FF, but I've been searching desperately, and for a long time, for some 16" Enkei RP01s in 4x114.3, for my 4th gen Prelude, and the only set I've found is these. I think they're the perfect wheels and the price is right, but they're staggered! I don't want to pass them up, because anybody with a 4th gen or Accord knows how hard it is to find good 16" wheels in our bolt pattern.
Like I said, I know it's stupid to run staggered on a FF, but damn I want these wheels! So what I need to know is will it really be noticable on the above mentioned setup that the rear wheels stick out further?

16.x7 with a 35mm has a backspacing of 5.38 and the 16x8 with a 38mm offset has a backspacing of 6.00 so there is a .62 difference..pretty noticable

Yeah, but I figured the difference in width might come into play...I dunno, I'm still deciding on getting these or waiting for a set that's all the same width/offset

Just put the wider wheels on the front. It won't look that terrible. Besides, the Pontiac Grand Prix GXP comes staggered like that from the factory, so at least you won't be the only person on the road that way.

I guarantee you won't like the look after when they are on your car. I would really consider being patient and getting something you will enjoy more then just get these wheels and not be completely satisfied!

agreed... wider in the front helps reduce understeer so long as you put a fatter tire on there.

hey the differ from 16x7 +35 to 16x8 +38
16x8 +38 inner clearance is RETRACED 11mm then the 16x7 +35
16x8 +38 outer clearance is EXTENED 10mm then the 16x7 +35
i say you can run it, but there will be come rolling on the fenders for the rear.
but if you dont want to cant find someone with a roller, run the same size from the front and the rear, give it that look, and SLAM it.!

You can run it. I like staggered setup wheels 
And I have ITR 4X114 so I know your pain. You see countless drift wheels all day long and never find honda offsets. But +38 is pretty damn mild. My homie has 15X8 + 25 on his DC4 and it works fine and looks amazing.
