Well I've started a debait with some friends and would like some expert advice...

I went down to Evolution Autosports (nice place) today to look at wheels and they advised me to stick with a staggered setup...However I still have this theory (copy/pasted from my PM to them);

I don't want to run a staggered setup because I ran some numbers and it seems the Zs factory setup is designed with a contact patch distrubution that doesn't match the weight distribution, being designed for undesteer (please correct me if I'm wrong). My goal is to get the patch distrubution closer to 53/47...which allows for more balanced handling and improved limits. Will this work? Or will it have any negative effects?

Thanks!,
Chad

...I guess I should add the setup I came up with that seems ideal:

18x9'' front and back with +27 offset

 

I guess some people use this non staggered setup, although it seems most people do it for the benefit they get when they are autoxing or racing. As far as looks go, i can't possibly understand why someone would want a non staggered setup. Plus, if you plan on adding more horsepower, it will be very nice to have some bigger rubber in the rear. Do what makes you happy though.

 

I'm going more for AutoX/Track performance.
