Staggered Setup on a All-Wheel Drive GS350 F-sport

Looking into a set of Summer Wheels for the GS. Debating between a staggered setup vs. squared setup.

Anyone on the forum have a staggered setup on their AWD GS?

Wheel Specs:
Front: 20x 9

Rear: 20x11

Any input is appreciated!
Thank you in advance everyone!

Is your GS an All Wheel Drive or Rear Wheel Drive?

None on an AWD car. It just makes it look much more aggressive. Personally I don't think it's a good idea regardless what people say about having the same RD on tires.

But if you are driving Starsky and Hutch's Gran Torino it is a good idea.

I would not say none, since the power distribution on AWD is 30 front / 70 rear. So, wider wheels in the back will help, but not as much as on RWD.

Not a good idea you say? Wrong! 2014 Lexus IS F Sport AWD comes stock with a staggered setup.

RWD IS F SPORT 18-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with 225/40R18 (front), 255/35R18 (rear) Y-rated summer performance tires[*]

AWD IS F SPORT 18-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with 225/40R18 (front), 255/35R18 (rear) Y-rated all-season performance tires[*]

Hello,

Looking for some help here.
Running a staggered setup on my 2018 GS AWD. The rims are from 2015 RC F.
Noticing a bit of vibration at hit speeds and I feel the road more. Is it normal or should I go back to a Square setup?

RC F wheels on gs 350 awd

Hi,
I have a 2018 GS 350. Installed RC F wheels on it. Front 235/40/19 and rear 255/35/19 m( rears are stretched). I'm noticing a bit of vibration at speeds over 80 KM. The steering feels a bit weird, I think I feel the road more. Anyone else experienced anything similar?
Thank you.
