Staggered Wheels on FWD

Post by nitin_s1 » Mon Nov 05, 2012 5:00 pm

So what's the pros and cons? I've heard mixed reviews, plus would it do any worse to the handling/ATTS etc :geek:

ATTS would probably throw a hissy fit wouldn't it?

It would just enhance understeer if anything put the bigger wheels on the front, thats the reality of fwd, its just not ideal...

Various Citroens had that, but they had zero-camber/zero caster geometry at the front. Even more extreme than a 4WS 'Lude.

I can make mine oversteer as it is, with a mid-corner lift, so don't see the point.

All i can see is extra wheel weight on the wider wheel.
