Question Staggered Vs Non-Staggered

I'm getting some 87 replicas and AFS sells both staggered and non-staggered.
Which set is better? any pros and cons of both? TIA

I would go with the staggered setup...the way BMW engineered it. Beside, it looks much more agressive. The only con I can think of is that you can't rotate your tires.

I think the stagger look is better, more aggressive!

Staggered, I makes the vehicle look sporty and badass.
The only drawback is that the rear tires cost more

Personnaly I have a staggered set, but the thing that was concerning me was what do I do when I have a flat and I'm on the side of the road? I guess I'll end up hitchhiking or getting it towed somewhere, b/c I can't see myself putting the OEM spare tire on. Then I'll have 3 diff sized tires on!!!!

You can always go 285 all the way around (or 315 for that matter).

Staggered looks the dogs balls! Although to be honest, my 18" drove better than my 19" staggered. 19" definitely handle better, but they do give me some tramlining - particularly while braking. I haven't had them with anything better than "good" (as opposed to new) rubber so I'm hoping new tires will cure this.

But you can "flip" the rear tires on the wheels and DOUBLE their wear!
