Default awd wheel thread

I've recently been searching for wheels for my 07 awd is and had to look through all of the threads to find the few awd is's and thought it would be cool to have them all in one place. Post pics, brand, and specs. If this is a repost please feel free to delete. Thanks.

Yeah I saw that one. I was kinda hoping the awd's staggered or non would post their set ups in one thread also. Just for ease of locating them. Thanks for the link though. So far everyone has been pretty helpful here.

why does it matter if the wheels are on an awd for a rwd? the cars are identical in appearance.

we've already established you can go staggered on an awd, so just look at any ISX50, awd or rwd. why does it matter?

no one is going to run non staggered on an rwd is. so it would be nice to see what people do width and offset wise when running non staggered and I figure a thread dedicated to it wouldn't hurt and would make it easier to locate.

i doubt you'll get your wished... your new round these parts... search your butt off and soon enough you'll be all wise regarding wheels size/offsets. its easy math to convert larger wheels to smaller and differ the offests... you'll get the hang of it... and bust out that calculator.

i'll tell you this, my wife is running (NON STAGGERED) 19x8.5 +30 front & 19x8.5 +20 rear (spacer). And its a perfect fitment without going hella flush.

LOL- I don't care If I run staggered or not, but the Stock 17's gotta go!!! After seeing so many great looking Is's here with killer wheels, I can't wait to demote my stock wheels to winter only!

Yeah, I knew it would probably not end up being a huge thread just due to the numbers of awds vs rwds, but had hoped to just round them up in one place. I'm new here but not to wheels and such I just got a little nervous with this car and the wheels I'm going to be running as I read a post that they may not fit. I've been through all the wheel threads on here and there are definitely some nice cars. Hopefully next year I'll be up there with some of you.
