Bought a used car with staggered wheels - now what?
Wondering what you all would recommend for me. I bought a used 2017 BRZ Performance package with staggered wheels - now what?
Specs I bought a used BRZ and the car is currently staggered on Volk ZE40s: Front 18x9 235/40 Rear 18x9.5 255/35 Lowered on Tein Flex Z (but will probably switch to something more track-friendly, although not necessarily track-focused). Context: I mostly drive this car on the weekends. I daily a plug-in hybrid. I track maybe twice a year. I track mostly for fun and not looking for the fastest lap times, but I do want to improve, hence switching to a more track-friendly suspension. I have another set of Konig Hypergrams (square) 17x8 +40 wrapped 235/45 all around. I prefer a square setup for less headache and rotation purposes, and I think it just handles better than staggered. Questions 1) Should I get square wheels? Or square the tires up? [I'm afraid it's difficult to find only 2 Volk ZE40s around] 2) If I square the wheels...know anyone who would trade 18x9 for some 18x9.5s?? (I want 18x9, cuz I don't need too wide of tires) 3) If I square the tires while keeping the staggered wheels, would you recommend going 245 or 255? 4) If I can't square the Volks, should I just keep them for daily and use the Konigs for track? Or vice versa? TIA!! Hope these aren't dumb questions. TL;DR Square tires on staggered VolkZE40s? Or just stick with square Konigs for the track and enjoy the staggered look on the street? |
