Staggered Rims?

I am looking to buy rims in the near future and I like the look of bigger rims in back. Does anyone have pics of their car this way? If so, what size did you go with?

Re: Staggered Rims?

thank you

The wheels are made by "Intro" and they are called "VRODS". 19X8 up front with P245/35's and the rear's are 20X10 with P275/35's. The wheels cost close to $3500 with tires..but like with any custom billet wheel, they were built for the car...not just a wheel you can pick up at tire barn or sears.

Re: Staggered Rims?

They add a lot to the car. But 3500 is more than I paid for my car... haha definitely a future investment!

Looks amazing, do you recall what the back spacing for those wheels is? Thanks!

Yes, what's your point? Does that mean that all threads are dead after a certain amount of time? What value does your comment bring to this thread?

I've been here a very long time and IMO this thread is worth a bump and see if newer members more recent then 2009 have new rides to add to the collection.

you go dude !!
All I'm sayin is your asking a specific person a question about something they posted over 10 years ago
What do you think the odds are they will reply?

I did not see where your asking newer members to bring new rides into this??
and what "collection" do you refer to?

See.. your one of these guys that has nothing better to do than make incompetent comments, so let me educate you on how to keep a forum effective, and continuing to adding value to the third gen community.

If I make a post asking about Staggered rims, you'd be the guy that comments "WHY DON'T YOU DO A SEARCH FOR STAGGERED RIMS ITS BEEN TALKED ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO!!"

OR.. like in this case I do a search, find what I'm looking for and want more information. So rather than making a new post I comment and try to see if Sickness91Z28 may still be lurking around (a person I haven't talked to in a very long time) because I really like his car and how it sits. ANDDDD of course that comment isn't good enough either for Mr.KeyboardWarriorBizJetTech so you have to drop a comment that ADDS NO VALUE, zero participation to the thread, just your negative 2 cents that I or nobody else cares about. And now we have 4 posts adding no value to this thread. Do you see where i'm going?

If Sickness91Z28 replies I get my answer, if nothing else this thread has been bumped to the top of the new posts so other people who have not viewed maybe will notice it and participate, maybe somebody else knows the Backspacing on a 19/20" staggered rim setup. Obviously you don't have the answer but my posting got your attention, why did you bother looking and reading the thread? Maybe others who want to discuss staggered rims will join in and comment too. Whats wrong with reviving GOOD old posts/threads.

Now can I have my 2 minutes back? Practice being more positive and helping out the community instead of being critical, negative and thread killer. Lets get back to discussing Staggered Rims please..

The fact the OP hasn't signed on for almost three years might give some indication of the probability of a response too. But you can hope !!
