can you put staggard fitment wheels on a rsx?

 

You can stagger anything, the question is should you!

 

Wow...

 

I have heard of people using staggered wheels to change how the car handles. Dont see what the point would be unless you know exactly what you are looking to accomplish by doing this though.

 

Staggered rims on an fwd car wouldnt really benefit the car all that much,if at all. Most likely would just add unnecassary weight with heavier, wider rims. The main purpose of staggered rims is to get more surface area onto the pavement for the tires that are putting the power to the ground. Which in this case are in the front. So staggering the rear tires and making them wider is not going to benefit your performance at all, unless youre doing it just for the look. IMO it does look good, but you will most likely get flamed by alot of ppl for doing it on FWD car. To answer your question, yes you can, but why?

 

There is actually a good bit of performance you can gain running staggered wheel sizes on FWD cars ...

Running a larger wheel in the front and smaller in the rear will promote rotation (oversteer)

I know a good majority of the people are in it for looks (hence placing the larger wheel in the rear) and wouldn't think about staggering the wheels as I suggested ... just wanted to throw my .02 out there for anyone performance oriented.

That is what i have seen just couldn't remember how it affects the car. Nice bit of info tho!

 

i dont want it for looks i want for the power i put to the wheels and then from the wheels to the ground

 

I would think a 7 inch wide wheel should be all the rubber needed to put the power you are going to have to the pavement. Why not just put 7's on the back also?

 

i am still just trying to gain some knowledge of what wud be the best way to go, either 17in wheels without staggered of 17in wheels with staggered fitment, honestly i was just gonna go with 16x7 rota grids in sport bronze.

 

putting staggered wheels with a lower offset or wider rim upfront would promote more oversteer or rotation.

what do you plan on doing with the car? autox? road racing? groccery getting?

depending on what the purpose of your car is, should help you decide otherwise.

 

groccery getting, dd

 

well im not going to tell you what to do.

but if it was my car, n it was a daily driver, id just run non-staggered wheels all around. no point in putting staggered wheels upfront to create more rotation when i can just upgrade with a rear sway or something.

 

thanx for the input
