I like your look because that small offset puts the edge of the tire even with the edge of the fender. It's a good look. I've noticed a lot more understeer with the staggered setup.

Your running 245 square.... you're putting plenty of rubber down.

The offset was a big one for me. The increased sidewall, NRFs and square set up make it a great daily. I spend a fair amount of time on the highways. It's not uncommon to take 3-5 hour road trips. And the Chicago roads were killing my back and wheels. The Pilot Sport 4s did fantastic in the winter.

I agree with your under steer comment. As good looking as a staggered set up is…

I want to do the same with offset but my goal with this car is to keep it 100% stock. Nothing that wasn't available from the factory will go on this car. I have a rare 35M with sand interior. Everything on this car is like new and I intend to keep it that way.

I've said in other threads, I truly believe this will be a classic. And the 35 M will be the creme de la creme. The only option my car is missing is the ultimate sound system. The retrofit on that is too expensive right now. Maybe in a couple years.

You will need 18-20mm spacers for the front wheels.

225/40 and 255/35 are perfect.
