Default AWD w/ staggered fit?

ok guys....first of all im in a bind between 19's or 20's. Second of all i LOVE the staggered fit however, I have an AWD. Will a staggered fittment work? I talked to a guy today that said it would be no problem but to me that means the front tires will wear out way faster than the rear, inform me if I am wrong. Which means more money out of my pocket and I'm currently a student going in dept 150,000 so I need to not be wasting money on tire issues. Any help out there?

Stagger will work.

And usually the rear wears out more? The rear has more camber than the front... but the front's geometry setup is strange specially under turning.

I run a fake stagger setup, so I can rotate my wheels

by fake stagger, you mean same size rims just different offsets?

LOL

Nope, I mean same size rims and offsets with spacers

Different offsets means if I rotate my wheels it would look funny!

PM me, I have your solution since you already have rims installed. MikeZ is running the same exact spacer I was running on my IS250awd. Now look at his wheel setup! Can someone say FLUSH?

I have the spacers, and no longer can use them.
