Staggered vs non staggered
I’m sure there are a ton of threads here on this subject already, but I’m looking for some insight on a staggered wheel setup vs a non staggered setup. I’m going to be purchasing new wheels for my c7z. I’be seen a lot of people have gone 19/19 instead of the stock 19/20 config. Is this simply for a better tire selection, or what are the pros and cons of either?
TIA

I believe 19/19 is the best for street stuff, and 18s are the best for track/strip.

Whatever wheel size you go with, it is important to keep the tire "stagger" meaning the front tire diameter needs to be about 1" smaller than the rear diameter. If not, you are throwing off the ABS and traction control systems which are designed to work with the original stagger.
