staggered setups need to be within .5% total diameter of the wheels
you cant run 18's and 19's
but you can 18x8 and 18x9

Ok with the 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 setup im runnin a diameter difference of .66% so i guess this will work?
Now as stated above is it .5% or 5%? Clarify please

in back 255/35

you arent going to pull this off without some stretch

So rep for a wheel shop told me to put those 285's in. I guess hes wrong.

So ur saying the 225/40 and 255/35 is my best bet? I cant go to a smaller profile? And what about the offsets I mentioned?
