In other word, for a 6-potter BMW, most of it comes with stagger set up because if not, the rear tyre wears out fast due to its power, which drives the rear wheel.I doubt any one would notice u have a stagger tyre set up. Many just play with rims with stagger look (different offset), yet mounting with same width tyres.I don't like stagger tyre set up because the car is very nervous in the wet. When front tyre roll over wet surface, it actually disperse water and create a less water path for the rear tyre to roll over. It works fine with 4 wheel equal width tyre set up but when u have a wider rear tyre, the path cleared by the front tyre is not wide enough for the rear tyres to roll over, so the rear tyre has to work harder to thread water, the car felt nervous when this happen.</blockquote>
