I think i made my final decision on staggered wheels setup.

I'm looking at getting Giovanna Cuomo wheels in a matte black.


They are 22"x9" +10 offset Front and 22x10.5" +25 offset Rear.

Not planning to drop.

Anyone running setup like that?

pros and cons of it?

any advice on tires (size and brand). I want to run wides tire possible.

Thanks

A couple of members here have 10.5" with a +25 offset in the rear but a plus +10 offset in the front tho? I think that's too aggressive. My rims are +15 and it sits flush to the fender.
 
word of advice, your not planning to drop, big mistake. ask anyone here, there are no drawbacks at all that would normally be associated with the thoughts off a "dropped" car, the fx sits too high stock & overall ride, handling & appearance is improved with a set of H&R's, especially when your talking 22's... it'll look jacked up way in the air with the smaller sidewall even, with that I think your wheels are out a little too far the way you spec'd them...


also, you didn't mention if you're awd or rwd... staggered on an awd the critical thing is to maintain the exact same diameter front & rear, or as close to it as possible... it's still not confirmed how much tolerance there is for discrepancies front to rear, but anything other than exactly the same may cause issues like warning lights lighting up your dash like a christmas tree to disabling your vdc & affecting the awd itself, long term it may even cause damage to the awd system...

Thanks. I have AWD. My biggest concern about dropping was comfort. Our roads here in quebec are far away from perfect. I love the lower look of the drop FX, but what's the widest rim and lowest offset i can run if i decide to run same size around with a set of H&R's. I saw some members running 9.5 on 15mm. will this rubb?

Thanks
 
check out dr2k's wheels, follow a link in his signature, he's running 10" wide, 22" 305's all around, one of the most extreme setups here & a good guide to work from, keep in mind that with his setup he does rub a little though...

as far as lowering, I'm in nyc, your roads can't be much worse than here, even so I still say the drop is not a drawback considering all the benefits it gives... don't think of it as lowering, think of it more as putting it to where it belongs instead of way jacked up in the air like oe... many will tell you that overall it actually rides BETTER with a set of H&R's, but of course on a really big hit you do feel it more, but not to the point of feeling like a dropped ricer or something, not choppy & not low at all really, all fx's should came this way from the factory, your just correcting infiniti's over conservatism on suspension height :tongue:
