ok heres the deal, as soon as i get my settlement (big dollas) im gonna spend hella money on my prescious evo,l but i dont know wether to go with 18" or 19" rims. i was told that 19" rims slow you down and also mess with the gearing, can anyone fill me in on some info please.oh and whats a good offset and i know this may sound stupid but what does "staggerd" mean? :D

...what does "staggerd" mean? :D

i think staggered means when one pair of a set of 4 rims(either front 2 or rear 2) are offset more than the other pair, which gives you different size tires for each pair...i could be wrong, but i think its right...

no your right... its when the back tire is wider than the front... like the rear wheel drive cars

I would expect 19's to slow you down if the inertia is higher, but it's certainly possible to get 19's that have less inertia than 18's.

Seems strange to me that gearing would be affected. I have heard that your speedo readout will need adjustment, but only if the overall outer diameter of your tire changes.
