So just picked up some MB battles, 18x9.5 with +15 all around...
with 25mm rear spacers= -10 offset and 20mm front spacers= -5 offset.
I'm trying to figure out what to do tire wise I figure 245.40.18's would be decent all around. Will it still feel like a staggered setup if I run my tires like this because of the spacers in terms of handling, or shall I run maybe a smaller tire in the front or wider in the rear. I understand a non-staggered setup in terms yields more neutral handling and I find myself a pretty good driver not to toot my own horn, however I figured if the contact patch stays the same so will the handling for it is still the same amount of rubber making contact with the road. Still with the camber and offset it makes you wonder. Any and all input is welcome. I appreciate all the help.

Having the stagger in height also changes the way a car handles.
