keep them the same all around. my
kinda looks dumb on a fwd vehicle to stagger and there is no handling advantages.
plus, you wont be able to rotate tires.


do you have any fender mods?
rolled/shaved?
10 inches is a bit much.
if I had a 2G i'd go as much as 9 or 9.5 the most.

dont you know that its not cool to not be staggered anymore? lol there are plenty of people doing 10s in the rear on a 2g these days., hell, i might even do a 10.5.

this, as you might know, isnt about handling, this is about looks and stance, get with the times man! lol

i'm rolled a small bit in the rear and tabs trimmed...

that's what i was thinking, 10" would a bit overkill for the 2G lol

would a 18x9.5 +20 fit fine for the rear?

i haven't had staggered wheels in years, previously on old mk2/3 jettas back in the day, but i feel the 2G looks nice with them

My brother had some XXRs. They bend pretty easy. Just know what you're getting into.
