Your choice. But if your car is equipped with VDC, then suggest you stay with staggered front to rear so as to reduce possibility of VDC error (triggering it) due to erroneous wheel speed misreads. Square set up is good for track use but if you have VDC, don't recommend for street/highway. Hotly debated topic here but staggered is how the car came from the factory so unless you're racing and need a bigger reduction in oversteer, I'd stick with staggered.

My $.02.

Yep and both were staggered tire setups even with squared wheels (Touring "Wagon Wheels").

ok thanks for the help so from my understanding ill go with a staggered setup basically only with the tires and the wheels being square i dont have those settings so i should be good

Unless you go with "show camber", there is likely interference. 265/40 will "most likely" rub but maybe not on the fender lips, more likely on the fender liner bolt and/or suspension uprights. Talking nearly 3/4" larger diameter some 40mm more poke.

do you think a 255/40 would fit better ? I just don’t want the tires to stretched on the wheels if not possibly a 245/40

i think you will have problems up front, unless you have a ton of camber

Hm what size do you think I could get away with without rubbing up front, also while keeping my stagger in the rear from being over a 30mm difference like would a 255/35 be any better ? I apologize for all the questions just trying to make sure I get the sizing right before I spend over a thousand on rubber I have 225/40s all around right now and I’m worried I’m gonna die soon with all that stretch

255/40 and 275/40 will be a pretty safe bet
