Should I buy staggered wheels or not?
I need help deciding on staggered (style 87) wheels or 9.5's all around. I have a 4.4i. Perhaps the staggered wheels in the rear aren't appropriate without the flares? (Dinan S1 mod very soon) Your suggestions would be appreciated!

i saw an X5 with 20x9.5 all around, and i thought it looked strange, sort of aftermarket-like. you don't need to have the fender flares. i think they only look good if you have the rear lower spoiler.

my two cents...and ooo...another bay areanite

Staggered, that is how they came OEM and it is what looks best IMO.

I regret buying staggered wheels to this day and it's been over 2 years since my purchase.

It's a pain to try to get tires balanced since we can rotate them...
