Wider wheels in the read
 
Hi guys, I'm thinking of upgrading my wheels from the stock GT ones, and was looking at some GT5's, 10' in the rear and 9' in the front, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

Thanks!

This has been covered many times over... but wider rear rims/tires will cause more understeer. There's zero benefits except if you're doing it purely because you like the look.

No need to that wide. An 8" wide wheel is more than enough, especially for a stock (ish) power level.

Another drawback of staggered tire setup is loosing ability to rotate tires. As this is 'cheap' sports car, it's loosing one of ways to save money on.

I'm running 9,5" rear and 8,5" front, just for the looks of it. ET35
