    how do i get 6" of stagger

    I am new to racing and i currently run 28.5LR and 29.0RR and with 5lb in LR and 12lb in the RR i am only getting @4 1/2" of stagger do i just keep letting air out of the LR or what?

    Not sure why you would ever need 6" of stagger. Most four bar cars run around 4" +/- 1/2" or so. An 88 LR with a 92 RR usually gets you pretty close to that. And your tire pressures are relatively uncommon...LR "usually" gets 8 and RR gets 10, sometimes 12...

    If you need that much stagger, you may want to look elsewhere to loosen car up..but if you really do need it, 92/11 can be stretched some by putting 20-25 psi in tire and letting it sit in sun for a day or so....but it is really not recommended for a variety of reasons....

        furthermore...Hoosier does make an 86/11/15..that would certainly give you what you need....

                  Put about 20# of air in the RR, set it in the sun for a couple hours. Biggest I've had is about 93" if that puts you in the ballpark, but don't expect more than 92-92.5" usually, but that's with 9#, so you may see more.

                  edit; you could also go to a 12" rim to gain a little circumference.

                    contact your chassis manufacturer and get standard setup info. scalling, bar locations, rear end measurement, etc. start from scratch and take your time before you get hurt playin with a way off car. no need ever for that kind of stagger in a late model. get the info and follow it you'll be glad u did!

                      x2 on what dirt said. You should be fine with 4ish" of stagger. IF it's still not rotating, and your car is setup correctly, you need to add some rear steer. But methinks you have other issues...

                            I have the same problem. It's better to add weight and have a heavy car to get the percentages you need.

                              I run a 88 on the LR and a 92 on the RR and get 5-6 in. of stagger easily. I can't remember exactly how much stagger I get, but I run 6lb. in the LR and 10 lb. in the RR. I've never ran more or less than 10lbs. in the RR and run 5-6 lbs. in the LR.
