You are running staggered on awd? Why are you trying to destroy the car...I hope you plan on getting rid of it soon, long term impact will cost you an arm and leg. If you want to run staggered get the rwd IS

you wont have that many probs running staggered in the AWD remember... just stay within 0.1 of your running diameters all around

I agree. Mercedes and BMW's are equipping cars with staggered setups on their AWD cars today.

Im actually thinking about running 18x9 up front with 225s and 19X9 in the rear with like 275s. Ill just sell the car after like 20k with the stock wheels on...

All kidding aside...

What I really wanna do is go with 18X8 up front with 235-40-18 +38 and run 18X9 in the rear with a 245-40-18 +40. I think the 245 should stretch enough in the rear that it will even out sidewall wise and should give a pretty close ratio. What do you guys think about this? I have coilovers on the way so Im gonna fill in all wheel gap.

i'm running a 19x8.5 +35 upfront. with a 235/35/19. i have minor rub on fats truns and under breaking. but i can't find where the rub is coming from.

i'm also running a 19x9.5+39 in the rear with a 275/30/19.

yes i'm awd and yes i'm staggard, but my rolling front and rear diameter i .1% difference. which is virtually nothing if you compare both diameters.

I'm getting the slight rub in front under similar conditions with my rwd IS350 (MRR GT1 19x8.5 +35, Toyo T1R 235/35/19). It's so minor, I won't do anything about it.

dude 9 in front is good, i have 20x9 in the front with offset 32 its flush but can be more flush with 28...i use 245/30/20..slight stretch but no crazy...if u go 19s go with 235/35/19...my opinion and make sure ur offset is 22...do it right and be flush

What offset on front wheels? (otherwise it doesn't mean much)
