I said, dude, I have a sport package (Sport package is a sub header of the ZAP on the 35d). He said: Hmmmm...

[He did actually say to use the tire size to gauge the rim width: 255=9", 315=10" -- his 'easy' method].

Perhaps its Supposed to have 10" rears and they didn't have any when they built my car so they stuck on 9"ers? Perhaps the person who is supposed to pay attention to 335 uniform and 335 staggered isn't actually paying attention? Perhaps 335 staggered is non-US only?

I think I'll talk to my CA about it. Couldn't hurt.

Maybe it is another one of those non-US or post-September specifications. I ended up with dark burl after ordering bamboo; finding a second mistake will push me over the edge.

To the original poster, sorry if we got off topic. I recommend you spend plenty of time on this forum prior to placing your order. I didn't find it until afterward; it would have helped me a lot with model/options choices.
