Default Question about AWD and Staggered Setup

Sorry for new thread however need quick reply.

Does it matter if your staggered if you use same size tires all around.

ie 225/40/18

Since rolling diameter will be the same right? So it shouldn't matter.

TIA

question.. if you are running the same tire size.. why are you going staggered?
if you want the back to look staggered, why dont you get different offsets for the back....

its only 0.5" wider and have some tires laying around.

I believe as long as its the same tire spec = same rolling diameter then its fine right?

yeah with that kind of difference you will be fine... the AWD will allow .3% difference front to rear... so you should be good. by stretching a tire more in the rear than the front, the rolling diameter will change, but again, it wont be more than .3%
