The stock f sport staggered wheels should fit just fine on my 2013 GS 350 AWD base, right?

jtrue28

Yes, but putting staggered on AWD means coordinating tires. The overall diameter needs to be as close to the same as possible.

JDW379

the front rims are 8 inches and rears are 9 inches. The front tires are 235/40/19 and rear 265/35/19. Does anyone know if I'll have any issues?

jtrue28

Nope. That's perfect.

Front diameter - 26.4"
Back diameter - 26.3"

Thank you!

Hi there.. I tried that already, I have base
awd gs 350 , almost killed myself on the
Highway..., and almost killed my awd system,
it felt like a cow on ice...

jtrue28

From everything that anyone who has staggered an AWD, that is the #1 requirement...other than the actual wheels and tires fitting. Did you run those same size tires?

JDW379

Davidgs350 - How did you almost kill your awd system? I plan on swapping out the wheels in the winter. What kind of issues did you have?

Davidgs350

Car had no traction whatsoever , it was going
from one lane to another by it self... Had no
control of the car.. I run
same tires size just like you post it..

Uneven diameter of the wheels

NO, you can not do such a thing. You would ruin your rear diff. It is not only about diameter, it is about the contact patch of the tire that sits on the ground. This is what is most important. On an AWD car, the unsprung weight has to be pretty much even on all four corners and the tires need to be the exact same size is order to avoid damaging your differential. This advice comes from my many years of Evo 9 and Evo X ownership.

Has anyone put staggered f sport wheels on their AWD 4GS? If so, have you had any issues?

BkRed350
