Hello every1 in 6gc I have couple questions & I think this would have to do with Braking / Suspension / Handling
I never worked on a FWD cars which is sad, On my RWD cars it was always ok to stagger the wheels. Front being 19X8's & rear being 19x11's, well looking at a 6G Celica with a 18x7.5 or 18x8 wheels all around make the rear fender look kind of weird. The fact that there is a big space between the rear fender & the wheel, so I was wonder if I could fit a 18x8.5 or a 18.9 in the rear would it make any diffrence in driving? or would it hurt anything in the car? If you have tried this I would love to know what would happen & if anyone know what would happen I would really like to know as well. Thanks 6Gcer's This post has been edited by Project95St202: Sep 30, 2005 - 6:15 PM |

You can do it. It can hurt handling performance... but since you even consider 18in wheels... I don't think that will matter. It shouldn't matter as a driver car either... but just so you know... FWD track cars typically run much smaller rears than fronts (ie: 16x8 fronts 15x6.5 rears) to increase tuck-in during cornering. The reason for staggering is to increase traction to the drive wheels to upset the car's normal handling characteristics.
