Icon2 Need help with wheel and tire setup!

Hey guys I have a 2013 civic Si sedan and I'm getting coil overs and wheels soon. I need help as far as getting the right size fit wheels. I don't want a poke. I'll be going pretty low and want it to tuck. I'm looking at the gold STR 601s staggered with a lip. I believe the back have a +35 offset and the front have a +30. Is that going to tuck? Help I need some advice!! Thanks

I never understood why people would do staggered setup on a fwd... It all depends how stupid low you go and how much camber you will be running also.

Unless you're putting wider wheels and tires up front, sell your civic and get a rwd car so it doesn't look like everyother ruined, tard stanced civic now a days. Wider rear wheels on a fwd car is ******* dumb, dumb, dumb. That is my "advice".

A stagger is fine, just as long as the wider set go to the drive wheels to help neutralize some understeer and improve traction for acceleration.

As I totally agree with you on that point... we know very well it won't be done like that! I've seen a lot of rear staggered wheels/tires on a lot of fwd and it's honestly just plain pointless.

Unless for racing purposes I don't agree with this!
