Default staggered or unstaggered?

I am buying wheels tomorrow but im kinda undecided....

ruff racing 390 wheels
18x9.5 with 20+offset all around with 3 inch lips
OR
18x8.5 20+offset front 1.5 inch lip; 18x9.5 20+offset rear 3 inch lip

Staggered for sure. SC's look weird with unstaggered wheels.

Staggered. Tire rotation is overrated

sir's the few reply's actually made me decide staggered is the way to go unless I have some crazy deep dish wheels even than staggered looks best.

the wheel fitment thread is a decision maker on its own haha

BEST = big lips up front, even bigger lips in rear.

Just go with staggered. Staggered rotation works only by flipping your tires

if you're looking for stance without having a retardly small tire width with a huge stretch to fit the wheel this offset will be perfect

here is my car with 18x9.5 15 offset rears, 18x8.5 15 offset fronts,

The rear tires were 245s, I wanted to fit something bigger but couldnt

with the 20 offset you could probably get away with fitting a 255 tire under the rear fender, the fronts will probably be a lil sunk though

If you need help getting those wheels to fit lmk im in ga

No I know someone with one what part of ga are u in?, only the fronts will be sunk a lil which is good cause you might need the spacer to fit the ls400 bbk and if the front wheel was already flush in the front and doesnt clear the bbk that might be a problem
