Someone Please Explain To Me The Term "Staggered"
I've seen ads for the same wheels described as "Staggered" and "Not Staggered". I don't see any difference between the wheels. What does it mean & why would a car owner choose one over the other? ...Hell, did I even spell "Staggered" right?

Staggered means wheel width is not the same front and back.. For instance rear wheels 19x9.5 front wheels 19x8.5 that is a staggered setup.. opposed to having 19x8.5 on all four wheels.

I have an '03 S55 and with 20" staggered rims 9.5 in back and 8.5 in front. No rubbing for me at all. Looks great from rear b/c you get the "wider" look.
