Of course no rubbing. I would have popped a tire by now. You don't know nothing about the top secret suspension.

Yes, it would rub like a something something or other...

^ says the guy with blue parking lights.

Anyways, he just mounted up the tire to see how it would look, the wheels belong to a widebody tC.

And yes, bigger wheels are pointless on the rear of a front wheel drive car and does affect the handling and to a small extent, acceleration of a vehicle. But being that his car isnt an autocross or track vehicle I doubt he (or anyone that runs a staggered setup) cares about the small loss in performance.

I think staggered on a FWD is bad because of the understeer. It's purely for looks. iForged is back on the car. Time for new rubber and suspension. I ended up buying a new headunit.
