Need Help! Going To Check These Today

[SLi-ck]

Please give me your opinion on whether these will work on my Corolla Sport.

I'll post his description.

"17 inch FRD WHEELS

with staggered tires
215-45-17 front
225-45-17 rears

5x100 bolt pattern"

Will these work? I'm only worried about the rear tires and will these be heavy? I believe he said they were pirelli tires but I cant be sure.

Please help!

Staggering tires on a FWD is a big IMO.

I would just get the same size all around.

What's the offset?

[PhatRoyale]

To add one more thing I forgot, what is the width of the wheels?

Same width all around?

Sure you can't rotate your tires, but what's so bad about running a staggered set up on a front wheel drive car? It's purely for looks. If OP wants to go that route, who are we to tell him otherwise?

I ran a staggered set up on my Golf and received alot of

You pretty much outlined everything that's bad about running a staggered tire setup in your post.

1. Can't Rotate tires - big downside meaning having to replace your tires more often.
2. Only for looks - I'm big on function when I upgrade my car. A staggered setup will provide undesirable handling characteristics on a FWD car.

It causes under steer i believe or over steer...one of them lol.

Yea we need to know the offset and width before you can let you know if they work.

I agree with PR though...big no no on a FWD

Under steer

Rear tires are grippy, so they stay connected, and front tires go "spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin." You end up not going anywhere.

Stick with 215's imo. 225 might be a bit big for the 1.8L. Oh, don't stagger.

Edit: just get some XRS wheels
