Woah! is me.  Don't ask.
But here's my question to the great and powerful oz:
Staggered wheels.  Supposedly for sure they will increase oversteer.   A
number of high line cars sport them, but is this because they dont want
rich
boy racers to do a spinOrama and they look cool?
Given a choice in a RWD car between staggered and not staggered, not
staggered at first blush seems a wiser choice for a good driver as it
should
provide more grip in the corners, faster turn in and allow for time to
time
tire rotation?
ps  I know NG for quattro.

No obligatory Pizzo "plow" reply yet?  Scoff.

I too always thought wider rear would promote understeer - the 930 runs
7's and 9's for this reason.  And nothing sucks worse than being unable
to rotate tires on a high-tire-wear vehicle as such.  But Beat My Wife
always seems to run them like that, must make steering lighter or
something.  Dunno.

Sadly, the bimwad boards will be better suited to unstagger this
staggeration for you me friend.

See you in 2 bish!
