Finally installed my new wheel setup. They are Rovos Durban satin gunmetal 20x8.5 in the front with an offset of 35mm and 20x10 in the rear with an offset of 38mm. The tires are Continental Extreme DW 245-45-20 up front and 275-40-20 in the back. Thanks for looking...
 
Nice to finally see someone else jumping into the staggered setup.

As the pioneer of having done so for this platform, many, many years ago..... I am happy to report ZERO issues since their install.

Looks sharp there dd. Nicely done

AJP approves...I wanted 275's on mine really bad.

An older pic, from quite a few years ago, but yes, I agree...... the 275's on the rear lay down quite a bit of contact!

 
It's strange to me that someone would run staggered tires on an AWD (FWD) car.  But, some people have purple mohawks too.  So, whatever....

Its a personal preference!! but certainly the Staggered setup makes your Stellar-SHO-Standout among the rest. Z
 
For me, it harkens back to old school muscle cars of yesteryear, whereas the rears were always larger than the fronts.

Agreed on it being a personal preference, and (at least with this platform) I discovered many years ago, that as long as the variance in diameters is less than 3% between front and rear axle(s)..... it will not throw off the AWD electronics.

Been running mine for several years now, w/o any issue whatsoever. Street, Drags, Course, no matter.

Handled it all while still looking killer to boot.

Looking good. My next SHO will likely run a set of 18x9 18x10 staggered saleens left over from my mustang build. I'll likely be looking to you all for help when the day comes.
