i dont know about staggered diameters but i know staggered widths (8 fronts 9 rears) allows the car to grip more and handle better (to a certain point.) Or atleast thats how it is with bikes

17/18.

Looks sick.

Reason enough.

If you have a good clutch, and high psi in the tires, you can spin them.

Relying on small wheels and tires should be left for corollas.

Imagine how much more awesome you would be if you learn how to drive with 18's in back, and then go down to a 17.

Only downside I see regarding the two, is that 18's cost more per tire.

17/18 Stagger.

Pros:

Looks awesome.

17" fronts are smaller than 18's which give you more clearance in the wheel wells.

Cons:

Can't Rotate tires front to rear.

18" tires can be a bit on the expensive side, though it's usually not too much over 17". Maybe like $20-$50 a pair depending on the size.

Pros: You'll be getting your dick sucked on the reg.

Cons: It won't be from cute girls.

I've been 17/18 since forever.

Shit rules

Looks good and for me feels more stable that 17's all around.

But 17's tires are cheaper when drifting.
