8.5" & 10" widths for staggered set up

gutus · 08-21-2023, 11:56 AM

I'm trying to avoid negative camber and rubbing upfront. Is 1.5" difference too big for a staggered set up? Is there any sacrifice in performance?

Thanks

I run 8,5x18" ET 33 up front and 10x18" ET 27 in the rear, works great with no rubbing. Camber in very conservative.

Thanks Westersund. What size tires are you running? Did you notice more understeer with your set up?

If I don't remember wrong I run 245 up front and 275 in the rear. I do some spirited driving on back roads but haven't pushed it to the limit, but no understeer at all. The car is more likely to have the rear let go.

Running on our E86 3.0si 225 40 18 ET35 plus 15mm spacers (front) and 255 35 18 ET 22 on 10" (rear)
Standard suspension and ride height, no rubbing or issues whatever.
