And I want no rubbing .... So it's seeming like I want everything perfect and I do ... But I don't exactly know what to do as far as rims go... Cause I got a really good deal on my set but need the right tires for awd setup but w no rubbing ... Any help or advice ?

Fender mods can cost around $300 for all 4 corners. If you don't want to do that then get high offset custom wheels, but that will be pricey as well. If I'm guessing correctly....you're probably looking at Vossen or Concavo rims. In that case, at least rolling will be required as a tire that is too skinny wont be widely available or cheap. Either way..guys members here will tell you...Pay to Play! Good luck!

I have the exact same set-up for rims.....fronts will be fine but Rears might need a slight shave. Mine are rolled in this pic. front tires are 225/35 and rear are 265/30.

Yes, AWD. 20x9 +38 on 225/35 and 20x10.5 +45 on 265/30 Continental DWS. Cost will vary with tire choice but PM a vendor on here and they will have some of the best prices and Vossen Customer Service is great.
