Default Staggered Set-up?

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has tried staggered set-up on their scions doesn't matter what model. Can anyone specifically try to list the pros and cons of this set-up being that scions are FWD. I've heard for RWD it keeps the power from decreasing, you won't understeer, and up to "it will break your transmission" etc etc. Any opinions or feed backs you guys have?

Had 18x8 and 18x9... It's fine. They say understeer this understeer that. But just cruising around, it's fine. It's for looks. Not function.

I'm running the staggered Axis Widetracks. On these front drive cars, it's just for looks. Unless you get a non-unidirectional set of tires there is no tire rotating to be done. Back in the old days, putting wider wheels and tires on the front would totally screw up your front end geometry, but now you can have it re-aligned and adjusted and it's not a problem. Last set of tires (Toyo Proxes4's) lasted 45,000 miles. Just take the time to have it re-aligned if you make changes.
