With staggered we can't rotate but with the gmax's members are still reporting 40-45k miles without rotating. I run 275/35 on back and stiffer sidewalls on front. I do drive 2-4 hrs in my XFire twice a week. I thought about getting a spare set tires-rims I could rotate but since I got the gmax's. I would not consider it, I like the staggered a lot better on our cars. Having skinnies on back takes away from part of the point with our cars. I just wish I could find silver 18x8.5 19x10.5 rims that fit at a descent price.
