Default To stagger or not - Rota P45

I like the look of staggered wheels, however I am undecided on the concaved/not concaved look of staggered 18 x 8.5 (20) and 18 x 9.5 (20) P45's. In communicating with wheeldude, he is of the opinion that staggered flows better on the roadster and picturing it in my mind I kind of agree. I am also interested in the opinions of the members here.

P45F


P45R


I would be going with the Steel Gray color.

What are you considering?...

Staggered on width only, or staggered on wheel height (18 front and 19 rear) as well.

I vote for staggered widths on the wheels (what you are considering).

9.5 all around looks sick, i don't like the non-concave ones.

Square setup will perform better and give you more neutral handling. I was staggered before and now I am square (that didn't come out right) and I have to say that I like the square setup a lot more. I can also rotate my front/rear wheels on the same side for a more uniform wear. Just another side bonus and something to consider.

9.5 P45R all around. Go with the concave look! Then run some spacers in the rear to make them more flush.
