Look at the entitlement on this guy. You asked for advice regarding a staggered setup on an awd rc350. I told you it's not a good idea unless overall wheel/tire diameters are equal. Someone even posted what wheel/tire size you should get if you want to run staggered while maintaining the same diameter. As far as I'm concerned, your question has been answered to the fullest. What more do you want? Should I go over to your house and give you a lesson on how cars work? Maybe you should do a bit of research on your own before demanding for help. Google is a wonderful resource.
I know about differentials and rolling diameter. As far as I'm concerned running a staggered setup is a discussion in itself with people split as to whether or not you should do it. That wasn't my question when creating this thread. Look at my initial post. There was another guy (nomz09) that asked about why it wasn't a good idea to run staggered... but again, that wasn't me, and you answered HIS question not my initial post. I was asking if it was physically possible to stuff those wheels in RC wheel wells (without issue), not whether or not staggered is advisable.
I was hoping for advice. I wasn't demanding anything. I always hope for respect, but obviously people are more likely to respond with an insult rather than help on the initial topic. Typical of the internet.
For reference this was the advice I got from another thread regarding my actual question at the beginning of this thread:

Thanks again to GetURWheel for the only answer I've truly gotten, and also Meraki (Josh) for his input on not running staggered at all (which is debatable).
Well, I've posted a few threads asking for help with different things like suspension and wheels without getting responses or real help with guidance. I've searched the forums on my own for knowledge without much luck. The only real useful advice I've gotten is in another thread from GetURWheel... so maybe they'll GetMyBusiness. Ha
As far as my being pissy I do sincerely apologize for that. Frustration gets the better of me sometimes.
We all get pissy every now and then, lol. No big deal honestly.
If you're looking for help sometimes you open yourself up to criticism. Especially on the internet. Try to have a sense of humour about it.
As a sidenote, I personally just found out that there's only two types of people on Earth. Seeing that I don't like Trump, apparently I'm in the other group of human beings labelled 'brainless Libratard', and I've never ever supported or voted for liberals. Imagine my surprise.
It's the polarizing and anonymous nature of the internet, nobody's got an opinion that isn't 100% the only way to think. It won't cost you a dime, but might cost you your sanity.
Yeah my bad.. i was the one who asked if i would have a problem running the below info...i didnt get exactly the answer if running below will cause me any issues...but sorry if really dumb question of me..i guess i need to get more educated on this...im still searching but i did see couple of rc running like belows.... would love staggered but if its bad or nor good idea but i may have to think another alternative way.. thanks a lot guys!!! spread the peace! we are all in the same boat..to look our cars nice and have same passion on cars...thanks a lot guys!!!

No worries, brotha. Your wheel specs look fine and offsets look pretty conservative compared to the wheels I've been looking at so advice on your wheel tire combo should be pretty straight forward. Where I have trouble is understanding offsets when going more aggressive.
From what I've learned over the past month or so your wheel specs look fine, but the tires you're looking at could use tweaking. Up front you should run 235/35/20 because 245s have caused rubbing for some members. In the rear you should do 275/30/20 to be under 1% difference in total rolling diameter.
Here is a good resource for figuring out tire sizes so you aren't out by too much on rolling diameter. Just stay really close to OEM in a staggered setup and you should be fine.

Thanks man. I really appreciate your help and your input..will then run with 235/35/20, 275/30/20 for tires....im glad and happy that my wheel size will work..i like the staggered look thats why.. thanks a lot man..peace!!
so if i run with this set up, i will have issue then?

You can run a staggered set up with no issues. But as suggested you need to calculate the wheel overall diameter is the same or atleast close to your stock setup. Staggered wheels look way better, especially on this lexus model. Here is my OEM setup vs Aftermarket. You can see what I mentioned:
I have been trying to order wheels on CARID for nearly two months now and they are saying that TSW 19x8" wheels with a +40 offset will not fit. Does this make sense?

I'm dropped conservatively on Tanabe's and experience 0 rubbing. Hope this helps.
thanks man..so if i run 20x9 +32 and 20x10.5 +45 and 235/35/20, 275/30/20 for tires, i should be okay then right? you think this set up will be fine?thanks

Hey,
SO i started my order in bdforged...ordered the bcforged LE styles..they came back to me saying that my front caliper is big and cant find clearance...they want to run 20x9.5 + 32 with 235/35/20 tires in front but same offset at the back...will this cause an issue? rubbing or whatever? since it will flush a lil...and will this be still exactly in the fender?
