Wheels come in staggered setup but I don't want staggered

[jtvang125]

I've been looking at some new wheels but they only come in staggered setups. Front width are 8.5" and rears are 9.5". If I don't want to go staggered, would it be a problem just getting all 4 wheels in 8.5" with same offsets? I don't think there should be a problem considering the factory wheels are all the same width and offsets as well.

which car? Most cars should have no issues with non staggered setup. And you just said the factory wheels are non staggered, so just get the same size as the factory wheels.

If I was going to go non-staggered, I'd go 9.5 all around if they will fit.

chances are it won't

what car and what wheels.

most cases if they are a vendor and if you call them they can do you a non-stag setup.

mine came with a staggered 7.5 - 8.5 setup. I just went with 18X8 all around for my winter wheels/tires and used the standard tire size for the fronts (225/50/18) for all four wheels.

Posting the car model would help.

Also, why *not* go with a staggered setup on a RWD car?

tire rotation becomes a pain, and even worse when you throw in directionals.

It increases understeer
