Re: Staggered Fitments??? (4DrEGFanatic)
Yes, it's possible. All you need is wheels with different widths.
Does it look stupid? Yes
Will it lead to unpredictable handling? Yes
Will it lead to rubbing? Possibly
Should you do this? No

Everything you're saying is true if 4DrEGFanatic is intending for it to look good; however, if he places the wider tire in the front of his civic, it will give him better traction for track purposes.. which i highly doubt are his intentions.

Drag strip yes, assuming he has his car and suspension all set up for it. Not to sure about auto-x. NSXTASY can probably answer that one.

I don't autocross. As for track use, if it's for competition, I don't know; otherwise, my ITR seems to do fine with the same wheels/tires at all corners, and it lets me rotate my tires to even out the wear (even track tires last longer if you do this). You sure don't need to do it for street use, and if you're not competing for every last hundredth of a second, you don't need it for track use either.
