Tire question - can I change from squared to staggered with the same wheels?

iamcc88 · 11-30-2023, 09:28 AM

Ok this might be a really dumb question but I remember reading posts when I had my Honda Accord where people put larger tires on the same wheels for various reasons.

My car currently has the squared 19” wheel setup as shown in the picture below. When I go to order tires it also lists the staggered setup also in 19”.

Is it as simple as swapping to staggered and keeping my wheels? Or do I need new rear wheels to accommodate the other size?

Picture attached! Thanks in advance.

Every wheel has a range of tire that will fit it.

Here is a chart. Usually best not to push toward the upper/lower limits but there is always a range somewhere in between.

Thing is, I don't see the point of putting staggered tires on the same width wheels. All you're really doing is eliminating tire rotations, which reduces tread life.
