Staggered vs Non Staggered MonoBlocks
Other than looks, is there any other reason why i should or should not get staggered 18 monoblocks?
I actually have good luck and found both sets.
1st Set - Staggered with Fronts ET31 and Rears ET35 from a w210 E55
2nd Set - 18x9 All Around from an S Class and confirmed with ET31
Which is the best one of any for the car, other than looks?
I know I can rotate with non -

none... for now
Technically speaking, wider, or non-staggered front tires, dig in more as you enter the turn. Thus, reducing understeer. Cars with a rear weight bias(911, 458, Aventador) can get away with this due to throwing less front weight into a corner. Cars like Vipers/Vettes are engineered staggered because of needing serious meat in the back to put their power down(but still run huge 285's up front).
To oversimplify, it's looks VS handling.
