AWD with 19" Wheels - What are your Tire Sizes?
I am considering a square setup and want to order a set of wheels ASAP. Many wheel packages out there offer 8.5" front and 9.5" rear. If I did that, I'd likely go with a stagerred setup and would like to be more aggresive than stock, but want to make sure my tire sizes don't mess with the AWD.
So two choices:
19x8.5 ET 35 all around with 245/35/19
Or
19x8.5" ET35 Front with 235/35/19
19x9.5" ET 40 Rear with 265/30/19
The circumference difference on the staggered set up is 80.04 vs 79.36 F/R.
This won't be lowered FWIW.
Thoughts/Advice?
(I also searched, but hard to figure out who is AWD and who is RWD when they post their sizes)

Here are the two models/colors I'm leaning too. Not sure on color or square vs staggered yet.
staggered and what color is your car?

I am going to be running 265/30 and 225/35
It is the closest with a difference of .4%, which is closer than the factory sizes even!

Yeah, I definitely want to upsize on width and don't want to add to any understeer. Even tempted to run 245's all around.
