Default STAGGERED WHEELS?

Just wondering how how you make wheels look staggered. I know there not good for quatrros but I'm interested in how to do it.

No, I notice how the whole wheel and tire actually look like there slanted out a bit. Does it just look that way because of the difference in the lips? Or maybe the width of the tire?

slanted out means they are cambering and thats not good on any car,
most people arent goin for that look, it just happened casue they dont have a camber kit when they lower their car
cambering wears out the tires unevenly and it will kill u on tires

Ohhh... Now why is that not good for quattro's, I thought it was because they were slanted which like you said would not be good for any car.

heres some reason not to go staggered on quattro

with the different wieght of the wheels your car will think wheels are slipping
u cant rotate the tires
you will be increasing understeer

I think anything past 18X8 is tacky.
