Whats the advantage of staggered rim?
Can the same tyre profile be use on all the 4 rim??
PixelBug;925615 said:Staggered will definitely looks nicer. And another reason is that BMW are rear wheel drive so need a larger width for the back tyre, gives much power, you would get better handling as well.

I think my previous ride would already turn turtle with that inertia lol

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.
