REVERSE STAGGER FWD SETUPS
I've been seeing this trend pickup alot of momentum here Stateside. Its been quite popular in Japan for a couple years now.
Basic concept
Staggered width and offset... can run slightly wider rim in the front for maximum grip and keep sidewall flex to an absolute minimum for maximum stearing response. Keep the same size tires on both sets. Use wider front rims to minimize sidewall flex therefore improving turn-in.
I know theres alot of "Wheel heads" here that will love this topic. Let the fun begin! Oops..edit

Run like a 17x8 in the front and a 17x7 in the back but keep 215/45 on them and so forth. I just been following it for a couple years now, and I've even had a couple customers ask me questions on it. I'm just wanting to know what other people think about it.
