Exclamation I need help

I have a 2008 GS 350 AWD Matador Red I really need to know if I can run a staggered set of wheels and tires on my car. I live in NYC was thinking about 20x8.5 frnt 20x10 rear Modular society KF2's CHROME or the Work VS-XX don't know about the latter due to issues with lip construction. Several shops have said No! Due to the differential of all wheel drive, Several have said YES, as long as overall size of wheel & tires are Comparable to stock set up! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

welcome to CL

do a search, we already have a few members doing it. key is the tire size choice to make sure front and rear diameters are close

on a staggered setup they will never be 100% the same size but you can get them very very close. to me its not worth the risk. you can always get a set of wheels with different offsets to give you the look of staggered.
