AWD with 18" wheels

I'm looking to upgrade from 17" to 18" rims next summer and was wondering if anyone has pictures of an AWD with 18" wheels at stock height? I'm not planning on lowering it so I want to have an idea of what it would look like. If it looks like a 4x4 I might consider dropping it on F Sport springs.

I have 19'' on my awd with stock height. I have 235/35/19 all the way around and the front slight rubs when I turn hard left. If you can get 225/35/19 then it should not rub at all and not hurting the sidewall. I would get 19'' if I were you.

My 18'' which look similar to the 17" stocks. In person it wasnt to bad and I almost was not going to lower it. But then I got coils in the second pic and as you can see much better
