Re: Need help on Staggered rim
A bit more technical stuff here...
With staggered rims, your rear will be wider, thus more grip @ the back...
Overall on straights and braking, this shld improve ur handling and reduce braking distance, but increase ur FC a little cos of higher rolling resistance as well as makes ur acceleration slower... (of cos unless u have so much wheel spin that this additional traction actually helps improve ur launch... which is unlikely)
On corners, wider rear tyres reduces oversteer (or induce more understeer). This might be a good thing for our FR cars as they have a natural tendency to oversteer when we accelerate in a turn.

hahaha for once after driving this car, I don't feel too afraid in turning at 120km/h
I think my previous ride would already turn turtle with that inertia lol

Turning in at 120kmh is quite interesting .......in the wet or dry ?

Re: Need help on Staggered rim
it may be just me but after switching to staggered wheels i feel so MUCH more balanced
of course when going staggered i also upsized from 17" to 19", so i have wider tyres overall even up front so it took out the understeer, improved steering feedback and braking improved a LOT
when making tight corners and my car is more *willing* to step its tail out also, maybe because of the weight of the rims at the back. i'm still on RFTs.
in very tight turns such as the lornie road u-turn... it is SO much more fun. off DSC, get into M, hold on gear 1, turn, then gas, then some wheelspin, then off you go. instantly overtake all the 4 or 5 cars making the u turn in front of u.
