Post your wheel pics.

Does anyone have a pic of a 1gb with staggered rims? And also can someone tell me how staggered wheels will effect an awd drivetrain? I dont understand how two different wheel widths could break anything.

You have what's called a Viscous Coupling in your AWD DSM. Two different diameter wheels will burn up the VC. If you don't understand how, read up in the tech section. There are some good writeups in there on how a VC works.

Tire diameter must match though or you'll screw the pooch with your center diff.

he said width, not diameter.. still not a good idea.. it'll do nothing for your car and you'll won't look cool either.

well first off, I didnt expect it to drop a second off my e.t. haha. and what I wanted were some pics if anyone had any, not someone telling me that it wouldnt look good. There is nothing that could possibly happen to my drivetrain from different width tires... I read someone saying that it would give my back tires more traction or something and it would mess stuff up.... but when youre launching your car, the rear is getting more traction anyways... and unless i had some wrinkle wall hoosiers on the back and some bald pizza cutter tires soaked in tire wet and bleach on the front there wouldnt be a significant difference in traction to make a difference. anyways... back on topic, anyone ever do it? borbet type a's make me drool.

ive tried it with two different five spoke wheels (one of them being borbet) and i didnt like it so i ran them temporarily side to side.
