Looks brilliant and not too extreme for DD, well done!

Wow thats amazing, cant wait to get my set in.

Cool photos, but kinda was hoping for action in the video

with so many people talking about tires, wheel width, stretch, etc...

i was wondering, does staggering your TIRES and not the WHEELS serve any pros or cons?

for example, what if you ran 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 in the front and 245/40/18 or 255/40/18 in the rear? basically squared wheel width with staggered tire width.

u would save some weight on your tires and money

would you know what kind of effect it would have on handling?

thanks again!

mmm the weight probably minimal effect, increased contact patch in the rear vs the front may just change up grip dynamics, Possibly more likely to under steer because of greater grip in rear so you would push it further and further trying to break the rear end only to end up having the front end slide?
maybe?

Love the video. Well done.

Staggered tires on square rims = fail IMO. Why bother?

The s2k community does square wheels with staggered tires all the time. My friend including.

my '07 IS250 came with 17x8 all around but with staggered tire set up. that's why i wondered why lexus run this set up.

LOLZ. Its prolly an indication of my own personality traits that I prefer a square tyre set up on square rims rather than any failing of performance or that of the owners who choose to go that way. I just struggle with the pros over a square set up which makes rotation and re-supply so much easier.

No intention to offend anyone or their friends.

As the title states i'm running 255/35/18 rota torques with an offset of +35 currently on 255/35/18 Federal tires. Just installed new tires last week and before I did so i was running 225/40/18 but i got tired of the stretch and i'm planning on going with either with the innovate or vortech supercharger so i need more tire which is why I now choose to run the 255/35/18. I'm also lowered on megan street series coilovers and currently have no rubbing issues after adjusting the back to have about an inch of wheel gap and the front has no wheel gap with camber.

Here's a few photos if theres some interest I can get some better ones in some better light.
Sorry for the large pics I will resize them shortly.
