Default 20x11 Too Wide?

Can anyone confirm if this setup would fit? Also, should I even go staggered on an AWD?

20x10 +25 - 245/35/20
20x11 +28 - 255/35/20

This guy did it. He ran a 20x11 +52 with a 295/30 tire so it was a weaker offset but a wider tire. I don't know about running a 255 on an 11" wheel with a +28 offset or understand why you would want to stretch the tire that much but your setup might work.

If you want to do 20x11 that will be fine. You can run a decent size tire too. 265/30 or 275/30. Just make sure your offset is around + 45-50, with + 28 it should poke unless you buy a camber kit and go to -3. Then it will be fine.

Fronts are fine too, I run 20x10.5 + 15 on my front wheels with 245/30, rear 20x10.5 + 15 as well. I'm on air but even when air up to stock it's fine.

I dunno about AWD, I know there's a formula you can use to make sure it's okay to stagger.

If you want to be a danger to yourself and others, not to mention being scoffed at by most car people, go for it. Regardless of what the ignorant stance community tries to convince themselves, running a stretched tire is dangerous.
You'd be running a wheel that is two inches wider than the recommended size for a 255 tire. If you want to run an 11" wheel, you need to be running something around 295, not 255. Same for your front wheel.

Lol oh gawd. Scoffed at by most car people? You'll be scoffed at if you use plasti dip. Not if you run a 265/30 or 275/30 tire on your car.

Way to take a small part of the conversation out of context, then compare it to a non-existent part of the conversation. Then again, you're running a 245 on a 10.5" wheel, so you're one of them and I expect such replies from the stance nation crowd. Plastidip is still better than what you're doing.

Don't look too much into it man. I've REALLY held my 2 cents on his love of "stance" and non functional cars. Mostly because I'm not a fan of engaging in an argument on a forum where nobody wins. But hey, to each his own and it might be a teenage thing but eventually he will grow out of it and look back and laugh at the concept like the rest of us.

Lol oh geez. Unfortunately no, I'm middle aged, early 30's with a 996 turbo and my Lexus as my modding car (fun) Been into the air suspension & such for a while. So I'm fine with my choice. I don't look at others who purchase less than quality parts, or plasti dip their wheels, or add mods not to my liking or have wheels gap beyond belief. To each their own as most people say.

I have no problem with the look of my car, the ride is great as I can adjust it with accuair management. But hey, I understand where you're coming from. No big deal, sorry for getting off topic.
