should I get a 19x10 square setup or a 19x10/11 staggered?? are there compelling reasons for either since it is strictly street?

How important is the ability to rotate your tires? Also how about the additional cost for the staggered setup? Unless you are doing it for looks (and it does look good!!) then square will serve you better.

in your opinion at what point does (dollar wise) does the look overtake the utility? how much of a difference makes it worth it to you?? the tire's are about $30-40 difference each. is that 'worth' the look??

That is a question only your pocketbook can answer. Honestly I've always been a squared man. IMHO I like having equal rubber all the way around. But that's just me. :like:

I prefer the ability to rotate all 4 tires so Iā€™d vote square setup. All depends on what you want. If you go staggered and want to go 305/35 in the rear, the options for tires are pretty limited. Not a very common size for whatever reason.

IMO, square gives you more long-term options. It's an simpler setup and you can rotate tires.

Bikeman315 has a Piont. My GT is a weekend warrior so staggered 20s are spot on. If itā€™s daily 19s square. Better ride , Especially with an asymmetrical tire. Like generals.

car gets about 5k per year right now, in my world that isn't much. I typically drive 25-30k per year myself.

Staggered. Cost is so low on the hierarchy of consideration related to this vehicle.

Expensive to buy
Expensive to build
Expensive to fuel
Expensive to insure

Whatā€™s a few more bucks to have the best look and best performance by not cutting corners on where the rubber literally meets the road?

If you like to race stop light to stop light, go staggered. If you like to carve corners go square.
