I can't decide whether to go with 19s or 20s and bein AWD I am confused on tire size and rubbing (roads are fairly rough). Im only dropped on F-sport springs so im afraid that 19s are gonna look to small and odd looking. Can anyone help me on sizes, pics, and/or anything else I might need to know/see to make my decision. Ill take all the advice I can get. If anyone has 19s with F-sport springs that will be a big help as well as if anyone is on 20s also. thanks!

first question is...do you want to go staggered?.....as far as i can see mine, i don't think 19" is small at all compare to the stock one. my setup is 19x8.5 +36 and 19x9.5 +37, tires are 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 (closest overall diameter you can get). im dropped with Tein S-tech. there is just alittle rubbing when i turn a fast U-turn. however if you are dropped with F-sport, maybe you won't have any rubbing because my spring drops lower than your.
here is the picture:

old rims but same size:

Hope this help!

DO NOT go staggered on an AWD.

I just recently bought an 09 awd and been wanting to get some wheels but i'm also confused about fitment, tire size, etc. I've been looking around the site for information but many of which are rwd set ups. Any information about AWD set up would be greatly appreciated. Thx alot

To be safe for 20" rims go with 20" 8x5 rims all the way around and go 235/30/20 tires. I have heard of other sizes being done but that set up with give you minimal rub if none at all.

Today i called MRR wheels. the guy that picked up helped me find the closest rim shop that sells MRR GT1's. i called the shop and told him i wanted to get 19''s and he told me the whole offset for my car so it would not rub and blah j blah j blah j

^^ haha i think there is a member with a staggered setup on AWD but i forget whom

i honestly might try to go with the same size all the way around just cuz of rotating tires. correct me if im wrong but if you go staggered you can't switch the backs to the front right? is it possible to go 10inches instead of 8.5 if i do decide to do 20s? 8.5 just doesn't cut it for me

Yea, share the knowledge.

yes, you can rotate your tires if you don't have staggered. if you want a better staggered looking, you can put spacer in rear so that match the missing inch. i don't think you can go 10" for the front, even for the rear, you will have to roll your fender and stuff. therefore 8.5" is the way you can go the best. you can go nether or 19x8.5 or 20x8.5 with round +35 offset, and if you like better looking then put a spacer in the rear about 20mm?
P.S. 20" may rub, im not sure, because i don't have 20"
please correct me if im wrong.
