Glad to see you guys participating in the forums here…heard many good things about your products over the years. Hope members take you up on the offer for advice/help.

I have a question…typically awd cars have square setups, I’m assuming for rolling diameter matching. The g8x X drive cars come with staggered 19/20 and staggered width (still within 1% rolling diameter). I am assuming bmw decided on a staggered setup for a reason, some discussion indicated bmw chose 19 fronts for better turn in feel during hard cornering.

Realistically, how much of a difference in feel can we expect from doing a 20” square setup (say 20 X 10 w/285s) versus a 19/20 factory size or even 20” f and r with staggered widths? (Assuming of course all stay within the 1% threshold). I like the idea of a 20/20 setup for looks, but don’t want to change the driving dynamics of the chassis too much to do so.
