AWD wheel set-ups
I can't decide whether to go with 19s or 20s and bein AWD I am confused on tire size and rubbing (roads are fairly rough). Im only dropped on F-sport springs so im afraid that 19s are gonna look to small and odd looking. Can anyone help me on sizes, pics, and/or anything else I might need to know/see to make my decision. Ill take all the advice I can get. If anyone has 19s with F-sport springs that will be a big help as well as if anyone is on 20s also. thanks!
first question is...do you want to go staggered?.....as far as i can see mine, i don't think 19" is small at all compare to the stock one. my setup is 19x8.5 +36 and 19x9.5 +37, tires are 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 (closest overall diameter you can get). im dropped with Tein S-tech. there is just alittle rubbing when i turn a fast U-turn. however if you are dropped with F-sport, maybe you won't have any rubbing because my spring drops lower than your.
here is the picture:

Hope this help!

i honestly might try to go with the same size all the way around just cuz of rotating tires. correct me if im wrong but if you go staggered you can't switch the backs to the front right? is it possible to go 10inches instead of 8.5 if i do decide to do 20s? 8.5 just doesn't cut it for me

P.S. 20" may rub, im not sure, because i don't have 20"
please correct me if im wrong.
