Would you recommend on going Squared on a 128i for the benefit of rotating or would you try and squeeze as much rubber in the rear and go staggered? Square and staggered both have their own set of problems (and gains), just didn't know if you guys experimented to find what suited the car better.
Since it looks like you do quite a bit of performance driving, the squared setup would be more beneficial in being able to rotate the tires, and neutralizing the car so that it does not understeer like it would in factory form. The squared setup is the preferred setup for dedicated track wheels, or for those looking to reduce understeer for their HPDE's and autocross events. For the majority of owners that do not see the race track or autocross events, the wider rear tires of a staggered setup would be more beneficial, especially for the 135i models with power upgrades.
