Pic of Your ***AWD*** With Aftermarket Wheels ***AND NOT LOWERED***
Ok...I did a quick search and didn't see anything dedicated to this particular setup. There are at least a few of us out here who have absolutely NO interest in modifying our suspensions or lowering our vehicles. However, those same folks MAY want to spruce up the stock look with some aftermarket wheels.
There is a lot of contention that aftermarket wheels will look crappy with the AWD if it is not lowered. Well let's see some pics of anyone who has an AWD on aftermarket rims without the car being lowered and let us see what's up.
Finally, the main purpose of this thread is for those of us that may want to add wheels to our AWD's (without lowering it) to have an oppurtunity to see how it looks before we invest a major amount of dough. The purpose of this is not to flame or ridicule anyone who decided to go with this type of setup and obviously opinions are always welcome by all.
P.S. To the mods...please merge this if appropriate; however, I did not see a thread specifically dedicated to AWD/Aftermarket Wheels/Not lowered.

I'm noticing that all so far are 18's. Were your stock wheels 18's or 17's? Is there a major difference in the ride for those who started out with 17 inch stock wheels?

Thanks to everyone who posted pics! They all look great I'm hoping we get as many as we can so that we can have some good examples of what to expect if we decide not to drop the AWD.

My stocks were 17. This past winter, I mounted winter tires on the stock rims. Got lazy having to swap them every winter/spring so bought some aftermarket wheels and tires for spring/summer.
I didn't notice a major difference in the ride going from 17 --> 18.
