I am running 245/35 and 285/30 staggered on my awd. the dealer put a comment in when I brought it to them to program the new tpms. but once again, they can only void it if they prove that it caused it. They cant even void it if they say it can cause it. It has to have actually caused the problem. I'm having ksport coilovers made for mine. so that will be a cheaper alternative to the bc racing. I was going to take it in this week but ran out of time. It will probably go in monday morning for measurements, then it should only take a week or 2 for them to build them.

yea but i really dont want to take a chance on it. everyone knows that it will wear out the center diff and if that happens and the car is on staggered wheels, im sure the dealer will void it and i doubt its cheap to fix. keep us all updated on the ksports, love to heard the review on them.

it rides good. obviously its a bit stiffer than stock. i had to turn the dampening up more when i put the wheels on to help prevent the car from rubbing when i hit bumps.

With AWD, THE most important aspect to increasing wheels size IS the diameter.

If your diameter is not within 2% of stock, you run the chance of having issues with your AWD system. I'm not saying you will, but your chances increase when you mess with the OD, or rolling diameter of the tire.

Some will even tell you that changing the track of the tires (ie. running staggered wheels or even staggered offsets). If it were me and I had AWD, I definately would not run tires that had a bigger OD than stock.

mark is pretty close. the tire calculator i used said it was 6.8% off which means the speedo reads about 5mph slower.

i don't think your 22's look bad on your ride. they fill out nicely. the only thing that throws me off is the painted white wheels. i like the polished alum lip...low key look. what are your wheel widths?
