Even on a good day, under extreme hard acceleration, this car will only put down <178hp to the rear wheels.

Ergo, big rear tires are a waste of your hard earned money.

EDiT: Nothing personal. I think some of the best looking 4G TL's in this forum are running on staggered 20's. I'm more about speed and agility.
Thanks Mr Marco, I appreciate all your imput but I'm still undecided as to what I'm going to do. From other members here they say that they don't feel the Tl driving characteristic changes at all with staggered setup, but I can be wrong cause I have no experience with an AWD vehicle.

On another note if I do it it's more for looks, I'm not racing her or anything like that. I'm a slow driver.
