Staggered Wheels in Detail

Enthralled by Staggered Wheels? Then let's get to the nitty-gritty.

For a recap; if you look at the Nissan 350Z Wheels, you'll notice that the rears are almost always bigger than the front wheels of the vehicle-which is exactly what Staggered Wheels are. They come on cars, trucks, & even planes. They are put on these modes of transportation to make it seem more powerful & for sensible reasons; like it helps the driver (or pilot) maneuver the car (or plane) in a finer way. When it comes to planes, Staggered Wheels are necessary only because it helps control the plane in a better fashion & also keeps the steadiness when taking off or landing.

When a car has Staggered wheels, it not only makes the car look all fashionable & stuff, but it also adds traction to the road (since the tires are wider)-which clearly means better control of your car. This then leads to better braking & turning those sharp curves that you always accelerate on. This makes the steering lighter & more receptive to the driver.

Every great invention must come with some unplanned difficulties; unfortunately. So as much as you want to go faster in that sleek-looking car of yours-you might not want to exceed speed limit. For one, you'll get a speeding ticket; and secondly, since the wheels are much bigger & wider than the front ones, it makes it complicated to break in a short time-which means you can't be texting! Or talking on the phone. Or doing whatever you do that can distract you while you're driving. Another thing that may hold you back would be that you can't rotate your tires. Since the rear tires are meant to only be in the back & the front tires only in the front, this can impact the tire by making it wear out faster.

If you do plan on purchasing these wheels for yourself or whoever it may be, you might-no, you're going to have to-change your style of driving to accommodate the wheels on your vehicle. This may take a short while or may take you a long time; either way, you're going to have to change your expectations. But hopefully this helps you with your decision.
