why would a vehicle suddenly have massive understeer running a slightly lesser wheel width than the rear? an inch or 1/2 inch smaller is pretty standard for most tuners. Even for SuperGT/JGTC performance cars also running staggered 18x8.5+20 and 18x10.5+10 on the NSX Prime.

Now I understand everyone has different taste and goals but I think you took my post a little out of context. If you took it offensive or incorrectly it wasn't meant to come off like that. It's called constructive criticism and IMO as a business owner you could have handled it better.

Whoa whoa whoa, im just replying to your post. I didn't take any offense to anything you said in your comment. Now your trying to call me out on me not talking constructive criticism? uhh...what?

But hey like I said.. Kit looks nice, but if the front was wider (to fit that 17x10 better you know) you'd probably have a few more buyers for it..
Cuz hey, if they want the wider rear, they don't need to get the front right? And just run an 18x8+30 and it will look killer

Thanks for the compliment on the looks. So far from my understanding the car in stock form can safely 19x8.5 +45mm front & 19x9.5 +35mm rear without rolling fender and still have a 1/2 inch of play either way.
An additional 30mm upfront is more than enough to get the wheel specs more people will need without braking the bank. and additional 50mm rear will ensure theres space for those who want that +0 offset.
Its a low cost street kit..and its gona be tailored for individuals with minor to moderate mods.
+50mmF +50mmR or +80mmF +80mmR just for the fenders is not something thats going to be cost effective and from my experience with widebody supra and rx7 guys they never fill a +50mm up front.
My old shop has sold more staggered setup wheels than non-staggered setups in the 9.5 range. So am i loosing potential buyers? not at all, unless your looking for a solution to fit 18x10 +0 all around. Then I cant help you for the purposes of this particular kit.
