Staggered wheel question??
Ok so we all seem to agree that staggering the wheels(larger rears) on the S4 does nothing as far as handling (except maybe make it push more).
What if the car is set up with a rear power bias and a LSD....I would think a staggered set up would still not be a benifit since 30% to 40% (depending on set up) of the power is still used up front. Only real benifit would be a rear drive car.
Discuss.

Response: Run staggered wheels of the same size.
It would also be recommended to not run different size tires f/r to not mess the tranny.
Suggestion:
Get a rear LSD
Get a 20f/80r center diff
Get a set of wheels that stagger but do not change the tire size.
I run all of the above except the rear LSD and I like it. The rear bias is nice...........

well.....
I find it suprising that would insult me without knowing me.
My sig is not overstated....infact it is understated...and that is a picture of my cars in my driveway.
If you are so inclined to do an audit of my sig, I can give you phone numbers of vendors/shops that have done work on my car. Not to mention reciepts.
I do have the STaSIS center 4:1 center diff and LSD rear diff.
My question was -

Which I believe you anwsered in your first post.
