Default Question about stagger fitment

Can you use a stagger fitment on a 06 gs awd? I've heard both yes and no.

I have always heard that you are NOT suppose to run a staggered set up on AWD cars. It can be done and i am sure that many people have done it.

there are quite a few people here with awd and staggered setup, it's not a problem as long as you do it right, maintaining close front and rear overall diameters

I say it should be fine. Just run 20x9 all around with different offsets along with 245/30-20 tires.

as stated by rominl and ek9vboi, you can run staggered on AWD. the diameter of the wheels has to be the same - 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 for example on a 8.5" front and
10" rear. the height makes no difference (within reason) as long as the front and rear are the same. width has no bering, other than rubbing. when you start getting into 21 and 22" wheels, you will start having issues just from being so far out from factory specs.

I am running 20x9 all around with a different offsets in the back with 245/30/20 tires and it looks great.
