im not a fan of staggered wheels.....while im not bagging the truck, i do want to go as low as statically possible, and keep the same dimension wheels on all 4 corners. if this means stretching a tire slightly to clear the fenders, i can live with that. id also like for the wheels to come out even with the fenders, or just slightly passed. this gives a vehicle a very aggressive look, without looking like a crx on daytons......

side note: my 1986 corolla had 13x10 aero racing wheels wrapped in 186-60's....stuffed under a wide body. reguardless of the critics on "stretched tires" i ran several drift competitions on this setup, sometimes having 70-80mph entry speeds, under inertia, and never popped a bead. same goes with chasing an art morrison framed, ls7 powered 67 camaro around road atlanta, they did just fine.

that car, can be seen here (before the rear wide fenders made it across the pacific)
