I am not sure on the correct terminology for this. I am in the market for my first set of wheels and tires for my J. A friend suggested I go with a setup that is the same wheel size but the back wheels have a deep lip and the front wheels are flush. I am torn because I have no idea what this would look like other than on expensive sports cars. Does anyone have any pics? please post. If not I am going to just go with the deep lip all the way around with the mesh VW looking wheels. Im also installing a pro kit with these wheels. If anyone has any advice or pics that would be great
You got the term correct. There was a company catering to FWD cars doing a staggered setup when I was looking. I've since lost the info.
I think staggered without a massive coilover or air-ride drop won't flow though personally. Pro-Kit is not enough.
so do you think a deep dish at all would look right? Or are coilovers or air-ride a must for a deep dish wheel?
Thanks for the advice
staggered means a different width in the rear. typically thats how you acheive a bigger lip in the rear
example being a 19x8 wheel has a 3" lip and a 19x10 wheel has a 5" lip. that would be a staggered setup.
what it sounds like to me when your buddy said go with a setup with the same wheel size, im thinking he meant different offsets possibly. that may be a bit tricky because its hard to find the same wheel with the same width, just different offsets. usually the only time you find that is when your getting a custom wheel made to whatever spec you tell them.
Here's a 03-05 cavalier with a staggered set-up also with different size wheels. I believe the fronts are 18's and the back are 19's (you can't rotate the wheels from front to back anyways when they are staggered). I was gonna go this route also, but is pointless and just for show purpose.
The rears wont fit without mods
yea 9" wide rim in the back is gonna be hard to fit without some rolling and possibly cutting.
