Hey, i have a 2012 TL tech. I'm looking into purchasing a set of rims, and i wanna do a staggered setup. Since my car is FWD would it affect the tranny, ride or anything? thanks!

 

no, it wont affect it the car.

 

Are you going with like a 20 in the back and 19 in the front?

 

I also have a 2012 TL Tech and am looking into getting a staggered setup.
I'm trying to get WORK Emotion Rims which are 18 x 9.5 in the front and 18 x 10.5 in the back. I've just started to do my research so I hope it's possible...the new WORK rims are the only ones that come in 5 x 120 pattern i believe...
Also going to lower my car as well. seems the H&R racing springs are the way to go since i dont think i want to do coilovers. let me know how your search goes though!

 

I spoke with Vossen today. They state they have done it with their CV3 rims. 19"x9" x35 offset in front. 20"x10.5"x42 offset in the rear. They stated the rear would stick out 1/4" if the car was not lowered. By lowering the car the camber adjusts allowing the tires to slide inside the rear wheel wells. Hope that helps.

 

no it is not a smart idea to run 19 in the fronts and 20's in the rear.
