View Full Version : Staggered on Factory 18's
Anyone running staggered on factory 18" r/t in rims?
Looking for stock in front and 255/55/18's on back, only need rear tires right now and thinking of putting bigger meats on back.

it would be higher in the back cause the sidewall would be thicker.

I have that on mine now, and there's very little difference in tire height (radius), but it appears much larger due to the width.

I also ran 235/65/18's in the rear when I got a flat out of town, and had no choice in tire selection. They added quite a bit in height, and a speedo reset was needed (Superchips or Diablo). That lower my RPM and I gained about .4 MPG highway. The 235/65/18 you run out of clearance at the front of the wheel well.
Thanks Hal, do you have any pics?

Not much, those tires are fairly close in diameter.
The stock 225/60/18 is 28.63" tall, a 255/55/18 is 29.04" tall. Only a .4" difference.
