    Unless you're running wider on the front, then I don't get the point of staggered wheels on a FWD and I think it's stupid.

    ok if you're really thinking about it (blah..FWD), it's probably stupid! But for looks....I think they would look awesome!!! I would get them

    Well the point would be if you are having traction issues at the rear. But what you would get would be weird handling because you'd increase traction at the back but what you are missing is traction at the front :P But if you are going fast enough to notice the difference you are going to jail anyway

    Umm I know the point of staggered wheels, that's why I said I don't get the point of it on a FWD unless you're running wider on the front but usually only drag racers do that.

    I think it looks stupid on a FWD I guess because I know that it ain't right putting wider tires on the non-drive wheels of a car vs. the drive wheels. I guess people that don't know jack will look at it and think it's awesome. You might can get a body kit, fast and furious graphics, and some blinking lights too.

    Those look good. I think those look better than those other wheels would have on a passat.
