what happens when you over-stagger the car??
I'm just curious- at what point is it kind of ridiculous and how does it harm the handling??
Suppose you go 205 and 245 or 205 255 tires.

Change the balance to the front and you get more oversteer.
Change the balance to the rear and you get more understeer.
And don't go by rated sizes, go by actual widths. You will find an amazing variance in actual widths between different brand AT THE SAME RATED SIZE.
255 BFG KDs are much narrower than the stock 225 BUT their 225 is almost the same width as the stock 205. So a 225/255 combo there gives copious amounts of oversteer -ask me how I know!!!
