    i think the overall picture looks good, however i do have an honest question... why did you put staggered wheels/tires on a fwd? i never understood this... is there any gain in handling? or is it purely just to make your car look like a rwd?

    No gain in handling. Not to make it look rwd, but to make it look better. You put it on for the same reason you put a body kit, 2-tone paint, ect, ect. on a car. To make it look better, stand out more. Show car.
