Default staggered fitment?

like most i'm sick of lokking at the stock wheels on my car. i want to put 18" all the way 'round. but i'm wondering if i need to have the rear tires bigger than the front. the package im looking at comes with a 215/35/18. any help would be appreciated.

Default Hey buddy

I have on my S 215/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 on the back and they look awesome, I get more compliments on them then you could ever imagine, not to mention they handle better then the stock tires too. Make sure you go with something bigger on the back, check out my website and you can see them, it is www.stwok.com take care.

The rears are wider in the back to help reduce the oversteer a bit. If you run the same size all the way around you will INCREASE your oversteer a bit and this can land you in a ditch if you aren't expecting it.

Yes, it's possible. Yes, plenty of folks will chime in with I did it and it drives ok. No, that doesn't mean you SHOULD do it. Don't go for the $799 special for 4 wheels and tires, it's a high performance sports car and deserves to maintain it's greatest attributes, it's handling.
