Why do you want a staggered fitment?

it helps eliminate under steer .... my last setup was mis-matched wheels to get a staggred offset and width setup... this time around id like something matching

No, it won't. A half inch difference in wheel width won't do anything, especially not for street use. All it will do is prevent you from being able to rotate your tires. But hey, it's your car, if you want to do something that won't do anything for you, go ahead...

If you want to reduce understeer, the easiest way to do it is to play around with your tire pressures. You can also upgrade to stickier tires. However, no matter what you do, some understeer is going to be inevitable with FWD cars.

What kind of car is this for? (year, model, version)

1995 civic cx hatchback
but it has
gsr complete front suspension LCA's subframe 24mm sway bar
rear 22mm bar ...m-factory camber and toe kits... PCI trailing bearings
PIC select coilovers 13kfront 11k rear

its pretty much a integra suspension EG's have the same wheel base

but back to staggered wheels, trust me the setup makes a noticeable difference ... so noticeable that i dont want to go back to standard fitment

have you tested anything like this first hand? or are you being theoretical?

I've driven and ridden in cars with staggered wheel fitments and they don't give any significant improvement in handling. But hey, it's your car...

I have something close to those sizes in my sig..15x7 +35 ce28s in 4x100 with Bridgestone RE-11s mounted and balanced with 80%+ tread life remaining; Each rim is under 10 lb without tire.

You really cant make that bold of a statment because the winning time attack car is running staggerd rims

And wiped the floor with everyone

Its running very wide staggerd rim sizes

And we all know that the best setup for one car for the racetrack is exactly the same as the best setup for an entirely different car for the street, right?

Well unless your into tire streching and slammed so hard in the ground you cv joints and eating up. Why not mod your car to improve it.

I dont care for the honda-tech sarcasim but apperantly everyone in that thread is using it on both.

Are you going to make fun of my post count next?

Running wider tires in the front helps the car rotate also


But nothings set in stone as sus tuning is some what black magic if you dont know what your doing.

Instead of playing around with the wheel width's you should play with tire widths, that is what the time attack guys are doing. Changing tire width will skew the slip angles and change the cars behaviour (if done right, hopefully reduce understeer).
