+1. I also would like to here from anyone running a non staggered wheel set-up. Supposedly it makes the car more netural handling and gives you less understeer. There was an article in sport compact car about it awhile back.

I don't think you'll find many who endorse this.

This issue has come up many times.

For the track, I have been running a set of ADR Kasai's in 18x9, 35mm offset with Toyo T1-S tires in 265/35-18. This has worked well for me. Handling is very neutral, and you can swap front to rear for longer tire life. One track benefit is the smaller diameter tire provides a lower gear for better drive out of corners. On the street, your speedo would be off a little bit though, and you would run a higher rpm at highway speeds.

Several others on this forum have also run non-staggered setups very successfully.
