More ground contact. But you know, because it looks cool.

Cons
Can't rotate rear tires to front?

pros – better traction off the line, better handling, looks better

cons - slightly worse gas milage, can only rotate tires left to right and since you have to dismount them, it's not worth messing with

I say all RWD cars should run on staggered wheels.

Yea they made the ISx50 models all come standard with staggard wheels so if your looking to do it at a low cost pick up a set if Isx50 wheels they are 18"s but you could also do staggared 19" ISF wheels
