Staggerd wheels on a tqs?

[Arwyn Palmer]

hey guys

After spending half the day looking into this I'm no closer to an answer, I've just bought a set of staggered 3sdm 00.6 18 8.5j/9.5j now I know that fitting these is fine as long as the rolling circumference is within a certain amount, some people say 3% some 4%, what I want to know is if I fitted 225/40/r18s (as I've got a decent set of these and the ones on them are cack) all round would I still be within that margin, according to some it'll be fine because it would only stretch the sidewall leaving the circumference unchanged, others say don't as it'll pull the circumference smaller. any enlightenment on this would be great as I'm confused as hell now

Thanks, il try and have a look at that one if I can get on a PC as I do most of my forum stuff on mobile, I tried http://www.willtheyfit.com and that said the circumference would be the same

It'll be fine, stretch wont effect the outer circumference of the tyre by any noticeable amount.

Thanks dude, I can see the logic in both sides of the arguments I've read about it, I'm not going for a crazy stretch like I've seen on some
