Vorsteiner 21x9 square OR 21x9 and 21x10.5?

Hi need some help and opinions regarding VFF103 21x9 ET 35 square or 21x9 ET 35 with 21x10.5 ET 38 in the back. The tires would be 245/35/21 or 245/35/21 with 285/30/21.

found a pic from a previous thread with the staggered setup.

21x9 will stick out more 18 mm
21x10.5 will stick out more 34 mm

Staggered looks better, but square is cheaper and you can rotate tires. What's more important to you?

I'd prefer the 285's but just a little concerned about rubbing and fitment.

If AWD, stagged setup will induce significant understeer.
If RWD, it's less of an issue, but 285 rears will pickup and deposit a lot of road debris on the rear fenders and bumper. You may want to wrap those in PPF.

I do like the looks of those wheels, though.
How much do they weigh?

Love that color, and the blackout looks superb. Hands down is my favorite off all the model s colors. Wish I could have found one when shopping, but settled on 2nd best.

Personally I’d go square...much prefer to rotate my tires.

Im thinking about going with similar wheel specs and wondering if 295/35 rear will rub?

IDK, I think 285's are safe. Vorsteiner actually recommends the 285/35's but I prefer the 285/30's to keep rolling diameter the same. I asked Autotalent why Vorsteiner recommended the 285/35's and the response was because it looked the best..

I'm choosing the 275/30's cuz want to keep rolling circumference as close to OEM as possible.
Also it has a lot of tire choices. I can't remember but one of the 285 options only had runflats so that's something to consider too...

245/45 circumference= 2208 mm
275/30 circumference= 2194 mm; speedo error 0.67%
285/35 circumference = 2302 mm; speedo error- 4.07%
285/30 circumference = 2212 mm; speedo error-0.18%
