I thought you couldn't get staggered with the AWD system!

The offsets depend on what ride height your going for, and if your going to mod fenders. What look are you going for? My specs came pretty conservative at 9x20 +32 245/30-20, 10.5x20 +39 285/25-30 and these specs should require minimum fender mods if any. I personally am lowered 3 inches with fenders shaved, rims slightly poked 9x20 +12 225/30 &10.5x20 +29 245/30

Sure you can as long as the overall diameter of the front and rear wheels are very close 245/30-20 & 285/25-20

I'm probably going to slightly lower the car with just springs (f-sport). I dont think i'll need to do any fender mods (i hope)
