Staggered wheel effect? Author Post Finch17 Offline 270 posts [99%] Central Valley CA  Staggered wheel effect? 2:26 PM 5/9/2012 Reply  Edit Ok. From what I've read staggered wheels will lead to more understeer. Is this true if the same size tire is run on all wheels? (17x7.5 front/17x8.5 rear with 225s all around) I'm looking into wheels for the FR-S. I am not a skilled enough driver to mess with rims for track purposes, this is for DD and looks. I will be using stock wheels and using other things to tweak handling (tires, camber, etc) for weekend fun. With that said I would just go square setup if it really affects handling.
