Soo Im a really big fan of staggered sets but I do understand the slight differences in handling when it comes to a FWD. My question is how would using different offsets work with keeping the same width all around instead of having bigger rim widths in the Rear. The setup im contemplating is

20x9 +35 Front
20x9 +15 Rear
245/35/20
Coupe

Would these specs still achieve the overall staggered look without issues? I'd really appreciate some feedback as soon as possible, The deal is kinda time sensitive.

20x9 +15? good luck with that. expect to spend money pulling and rolling your fenders. and i sure hope you're not dropped, because you'll definitely be rubbing.

lol I knew it would be pushing it, but I was hoping I could get it done with just a roll. And I was definitely anticipating a eibach drop in the future.

if you're gonna lower, you will definitely need to pull with an aggressive offset like that. i have 20x8.5 +42 on a drop with 245/35, maxed out camber in the rear and i'm pretty close to needing to roll

Someone's already pulled off 9.5 +15 so shouldnt you be able to pull of 9.0 +15? The only difference is he was running 20" vs 19.

if you're referring to oilsink he had to get his fenders pulled and rolled. i talked to him about his wheels when he said he was going to sell them, but i decided against it because pulling the rear fenders would be a pain in the a** due to the rather large flat area around the edge of the wheel well. and he was running 19x8.5 +15 up front and 19x9.5 +15 rear

Yea I really dont wanna do the whole rolling and pulling stuff. Pain in th A**. Worst case scenario would be a slight roll in the rear. but screw it.. I'll find something less aggressive.

yeah. rolling in the rear shouldn't be bad, assuming you go to a place that's somewhat competent. just make sure they're not doing it by hammering it flat, that completely eliminates any chance of it being fixable in the future.
