I'd just like to see a 2IS with the MRR GT5's. Anyone? Search came back empty handed

EDIT: eBay listing for them actually shows 2IS. Not my style.

To be honest it is best not to run staggard fitments on a AWD car. I have done them in 19". but not 20". I would recommand going with 19 inch. it could damage the AWD system over time. You have to keep the same rolling overall diameter. Because the system runs on the ABS system.this is recommand from the one im about to buy those will?anyone have this problem?

Use you stock tire for the winter time. As for offset 35 front 30 rear be nice stance without fender mods.

Do 19x8.5-19x9 in the front with 19x9-19x10 in the back with a 235-35-19 and 275-30-19. that'll get you within .1% different front and back. it's such a small difference your awd won't detect it. realistically speaking even if you run all 4 tires of the same size, due to manufacturing of the tire and wheels, they're probably all about .1% apart anyway. Physically they can't be EXACTLY the same size.
