Just wondering if anybody was running a staggered setup. Not for the performance but for the looks. I imagine that trying to run such a setup will cause tpms problems. I see people having rubbing problems at the front but not in the back.

For looks? Help me out.
Not sure I understand the point on a FWD vehicle.
Straight line guys put lots of meat out front for traction, but why if you’re not running it at the strip.

"Reverse" stagger is a common set up for FWD cars that're into road racing for the handling characteristics as well. I have only seen one car other than mine running such set up on the 10th gen Civic though.

You are right though in that a traditional staggered (larger rear) setup is pointless on FWD vehicles, and really only just for looks. Hell it might even be worse than a squared setup, these cars already understeer enough.

Well like said above it is used on some track cars with fwd. Basically i see a lot of guys running those wide wheels on the wheel sextion teyong to get the concave look, obviously not for performance at all. Running a 18x10.5 low offset is for the looks only. I was just wondering if it would trigger the tpms system since there would be a significant difference in wheel speed on the back.

I haven't had any issues so far other than the light coming on once after driving for quite a bit, then recalibrating and it hasn't come up since. I have 17x9 +25 255/40 in the front and 17x8 +35 225/45 in the rear though, so same size rolling diameters.
