    You guys are forgetting that the only way a wider rear wheel is when it powers them. Even on AWD though its usually set up with equal width wheels or a 1/2" skinnier in the rear to help fight understeer.

    Personally, I think you can pull off a staggered look on a Galant. I've seen it done, so you can definitely do it; and it's a personal preference whether you'll think it looks good or not. It's a Euro way of styling a car, when even FWD cars have staggered wheels. I thought about it for a while as well, but ended up just going with wider wheels on both front and rear. In my case, 8.5" with a decent lip. Just think about the look you want to achieve, and go for it. Wish you luck. Post pics when you do it 8)
