Staggered Look

Trying to get that staggered look. I like my original 14 x 6 rallys. Thinking 235 60r14 on rear and 215 60r14 on front. Would this be a noticable difference. How would it effect handling. If you have pics of your setup, please post.

Car is a 79 cutlass supreme but i dont care what the pics are of.

not much of a difference 20mm (less than an inch) and you really only see the outside of the tires so 10mm or about 3/8 of an inch.

you may try to find some 15x7 rally wheels and run 15s and 14s that would give you a lot more options

Or you could run a P205/70R14 8.23 width on a 6" rim in the front.

How about Hoosier 28-4.5-15 front drag tires and 30x9 slicks on the rear, lol? Works for me.

I have run s few G bodies with 215-65-15 up front and 255-60-15 rear. Its a great looking combo on 7" / 7" or 7" / 8"
Not going to find much in staggered 14" tires.
