I just bought a set of 20's for my 2013 GS350 AWD

Front: 20x9
Rear: 20x10.5

I was told to run this setup (F) 245/35/20 (R) 20x10 275/30/20 but will that mess up my differential for my AWD? Can anyone assist me with this if it's okay to run this setup or not. Thanks!

You need to get either 245/35/20 front, 285/30/20 rear or 235/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear.

I think people say it message it up but I think that is if its 50/50. GS is 30/70 so it's not going to be a problem. I know Audi AWD guys like to be square since it is 50/50

When you drive on smooth roads the distribution is 30/70, rear wheels get more power. However, the AWD system will engage in low traction and the distribution will change to 50/50. if you install incorrect tires the AWD will think that your tires are slipping and will change the distribution to 50/50. Driving like that for long period of time will cause mechanical damage.....

Listen to this guy, what matters is the rolling circumference of the tire and not the width. Just keep the difference under 1%.

Thanks! You know if I will deal with a lot of rubbing with this setup?

Ravishah89

Does this hit the sidewalls in the car. If I take sharp turn will it rub?

If you're not going to lower the car, then you will not hit anything nor will rub.

Thanks. Which setup would you recommend for an AWD.
245/35/20 front, 285/30/20 rear or

235/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear.
For best ride and comfort?

I have a 2013 GS350 AWD. Which tires would be best for this setup? Ride height is stock now, but may consider dropping it a bit.

Front: 20x9 Offset 35mm
Rear: 20x10.5 Offset 45mm.

Which is better to have

F: 245/35/20 and R: 285/30/20

or

F:245/35/20 and R: 275/30/20.

Please help, Thanks!
