We drive FWD cars, I'd be completely useless to have staggered wheels in the rear. :shoots self in head:

You could run staggered wheels, but b/c we're so used to seeing them wider in the rear and smaller in the front it'd look weird or retarted to most of us. If you look at some road racers they sometimes run larger wheels/tires in the front and smaller wheels/tires in the rear.

I know in one best of motoring japan video an Integra Type-R was running 16's at all 4 corners but ran a wider/lower profile tire up front w/ a skinnier/higher profile tire in the rear. It was all about handling.

The stagger tire deal is actually becoming more popular on FWD and RWD I know the new BMW z4M comes with 2 different side wall height set of tires but the same size rims

lol you are going to make your car handle like shite with staggered fitment. you need to stay with the correct offset for your car because thats what the factory designed it for. if you put wider wheels in the rear, all you are doing is sapping power from the engine to try and move the car.

the rear fit almost perfect but i had to roll the rear just a bit... but it fits flush to the body/fender... like i said before im sure if u match up to my width and offset u can fit w/e.. but so far people been telling me this is the widest offset they seen on our 6th gen...

i was also into the staggered set up but when i thought about it i just wanted to run the same thing all around.... but do what u like :)
