Staggered setup
I normally only stay in the classified section, so if im in the wrong place can the mods please move? Thanks in advance.
So I was planning on getting a set of linea corse lemans and i just heard something interesting: apparently running a staggered setup on an awd ruins the car somehow. Anyone a little more informed in the matter that can help me? And if what I heard is true, is the alternative of spacers any better? Thanks guys!

If you chose the wrong size tire that throws your rolling diameter off yes. Your only allowed 1% difference from stock rolling diameter. If you wanna play it safe then just get the same size all around and add the spacer to the rear to give it a poke. Then your still be able to rotate your tires front to back.

Do a search and you'll see a lot of discussion about AWD staggered setup.....

I have 235/35's up front and 275/30's in the rear on 19 inch wheels. It is less than 1% difference and has never thrown a code. This is a popular setup. But I only have 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the rear.

I wouldn't run staggered... I researched this fourm before I did mine, and after listening to everyone I did a 19x8.5 and 19x 10 set up with BC COILS. It was going good for about 20k miles, but than my transfer case blew and I had to get it replaced not covered under warranty ($4500). Before that I was tearing CV boots quite frequently.
To each his own though.. I wouldn't advise it though!

Don't know too much about these cars but with 19x10 up front you might be doing some fender work to make them fit. Not 100% sure though. The more experienced on here should chime in.
