Default staggard wheels on awd?

I need to know if it is ok to run a staggard wheel setup on a awd. Im running a 8.5 wheel in the front with a 245/30/20 and on the rear im using a 20x10 with a 285/25/20 tire. Ive seen pepole doing this but didnt know if it would be ok on a awd. any advice would be great thanks

You ll be fine withthose specs and tire sizes you just have to keep the overall diameter of the wheels the same those sizes are perfect

Interesting, must definitely be the "25" sides on those tires! Or your wheel offsets are perfect!
