Staggered wheels

Postby wiztek » Tue Jun 19, 2012 4:50 pm

Hi
Does anyone have an opinion on staggered offset?
Would 15x6 on front and 15x7 ‘outperform’ 15x7 all round?
From what I’ve read, staggered fitment gives improved handling response…but the smaller front rim equates to less grip?
The offsets are low, like +10 or there abouts…so that should give it more ‘track’/width

complications and hassle > benefits

its not really value for money in terms of performance for an mx5, unless you have exhausted everything else and are after that 0.1% would i consider looking into staggering.
