Default Not an issue when tire diameter is the same correct?
In that case, my tire diameter remains the same on a staggered setup. 0.01% difference won't be bad for it. 225/40 18x8 and 245/35 18x9. Should be a 255/35 to be 0.00% but, I'd rub.

Default I think that is right. But I was also thinking the width....
Wider tires in the rear should be creating more understeer, iirc. I could easily be wrong though.

I think the wheels you have now look better.
