Question for Luke
Hi Luke,
Can you please take a momemt to answer my question. I am planning on ordering the ASA ST4's, from Tirerack, for my 01 E430 Sport. I am debating whether to get the staggered setup but am hesitant since I will not be able to rotate the tires and hence will proably have to change tires quicker. Are there any other advantages, other than better torque handling, that the staggered setup gives you.
I appreciate the help,
sheldon.

depends on the weather
while I personally like the looks and added grip the wider rear tires have I can understand the tire rotation comment but, in the end I would opt for more grip ...

Thanks Luke,
I will go with the non-staggered setup. I want to order the 18x8 ASA ST4's all around and would like to get a recommendation on tire size from you.
The first time I tried the upgrade garage on tireack.com it gave me the size below:
245/45YR18
The next time I tried it it gave me the followin size fo rthe same wheels:
235/40YR18
This is confusing as I don't know much about tire sizes but the second option (235/40YR18) tire was much cheaper in the same brand (goodyear fi gsd3).
Please help.
