Both staggered and non-staggered have their advantages and disadvantages, all depend on your need bro.

So question is, what do you need?

non staggered easy to swap tyre

staggered can layan corner kau kau but be careful on rainy days...and if going staggered, ensure you use the corect tyre setup to get optimum feel and handling

Hi V-man, What is the optimum setup for an 18x8 and 18x9.5? Thanks

Non staggered only for easy swap tyre? No any other advantage?

IMHO,

Staggered
Pros: less wheel-spin problem, more grip on dry surface, better handling, +5bhp (butt dyno)
Cons: tail happy on wet surface, only able to swap front/rear tyres if you're running all round and it's not easy to swap tyres as need to remove from rims, more grip means need more bhp to move the car about, ie slightly higher petrol consumption.

Non-staggered
Basically the "terbalik" of all the above.
