| It seems on FR cars it's better to run equal size all round but on MR/RR it's heavily recommended to run staggered sizes. Having owned 2 MR cars myself (MR2 and an Elise) I noticed everyone was running a staggered setup when viewing their setups. In fact Lotus owners very very rarely change from the stock wheels/tyre sizes. On MR cars the alloys on these vehicles are themselves narrower at the front and wider at the rear.
Seems to be more acceptable and proven on FR cars to be benificial when running equal size tyres all round. I can only see it as being related to the difference in weight distribution due to engine location. |
