Because the ABS will not like it and could fail in a panic stop since the computer cannot calulate the tire speeds correctly.
And I agree, staggered diameter combos on F-Cars do not look right.

can you or can you not change the tire/rim size via a programmer and correct that?
You cannot change the front and rear tires via pcm seperately, but you could 'trick' the pcm by altering the gear ratio to accomodate larger diameter tires in the rear.
better idea: Don't use staggered wheels on an f-body.

Anthracid? Don't you guys mean Anthracite?
So staggered refers not to how wide the wheel is but differences in the diameter of the wheel too?
17x11, 17x9 = not staggered?
18x10.5, 17x9.5 = staggered?

I like anthracite, but i'm worried i'll get them and wish it were black like i have now.
(That picture isn't really too up to date, i've got a new manta stripe now and an SLP Grill, 20% tint, berger panel, and it's a 99 so the black mirrors also.)

PSJ, for some reason, they call TTM's "Anthracid" instead of "Anthracite". Guess their marketing guy couldn't spell?
99Camaro, if you already have the black accents, then the black wheels are the obvious choice!
