does anyone run staggered 17" ?
I was searching thru this wheel section, trying to find a staggered 17" wheel section ( I saw a couple of 18" staggered) .
Is anyone running staggered 17" wheels ? I was thinking of a 7.5 front, 8.5 rear . In who ever is running some kind of staggered 17" wheel set up, what width tires do you have them wrapped with ? Thanks in advance. still searching….

I'm not sure there's any upside to a staggered 17 setup- those of us who do it on 18's are kind of stuck with it due to the factory specifications. Kills tire life.

I was talked out of it. Told there were only drawbacks and no benefits

So true, the only reason to run staggered is for looks, so there is zero reason to run 17" staggered. It destroys handling.

Did it because it’s my car, my money and my experience.
If you don’t want to do it then congratulations and enjoy rotating your tires.

Just to play devil's advocate- if you install a header and tune your car increasing power a significant amount (10% is not unheard of over stock on a NA setup) than you should think about having slightly wider rear tires.

Thanks for the responses. I'll do further research , but at this point I'm leaving it 17 x 7.5 on all four corners.

I've always found when thinking about changing something rather major in the driveline, I need to find a good, substantiated reason to change what the manufacturer did originally. I can tell you from experience that having staggered F/R is a pain, but necessary sometimes (e.g., my Supra, which came that way!)
