I'm reviving this thread from the dead because frankly, all of this stuff is too confusing to me.

I was thinking Volk TE37s w/ 18x10 285/35 in the fronts and running 18x11s 305/35 in the rears (most likely needing small spacers). Wheel-it-fit appears to show both clearing the suspension by .1"

What I can't seem to glean from the calculators and multiple tire/wheel fitment threads is what a good staggered setup is for wheels on a RB V1 in terms of not completely screwing up driving feel. I'm not talking about emulating the stock squared up feeling, I'm just saying I've been in some staggered setups like on a 350z, for example, that just felt 'wrong' even though suspension was dialed in - the wheel spec differences between front and rear just felt off.

Is there a size/width right ratio from front to rear to keep steering and drivability in tact? Looking for help with this topic and I'm drowning in threads that have good individual points about various suspension variables, but nothing that seems to address the overall solution I'm trying to achieve - an extremely wide tire in the rear w/ a staggered setup so that when I swap my engine out next year I won't just spin everywhere.
