How do you like the quality on the wheels and which tire size did you go with? I’m worried about potholes in NYC. Are you happy with the size and offset you have? My GS is AWD so I’ll probably end up going with a squared setup. I assume no rubbing even with the springs?

I am running 235/30/20, has a small bit of stretch. It sits almost completely flush, but I do want to add a spacer to make it to my liking.
No issues with the wheel quality. Pretty good so far. 3/4 wheels have curb rashes though. And I started to get some vibrations at around 75 mph, most likely due to a small bent rim or just need to rebalance the wheels. And no rubbing at all.
But no other issues with the wheels for the last 1.5 years.
I do worry about potholes with my wheel/tire set up though. I've hit many potholes and the wheel has held up pretty well until my most recent one. If potholes are your worry, don't run low-profile 20 in wheels.

I was thinking about doing 20x9.5 +32 Squared on my girls 16 AWD. It will be on Airlift as well.

WALD Japan recommends:

20x8.5 +33
20x9.5 +40 ... which is equivalent fitment to ~20x8.5 +15

Running a square size/offset will leave some wheel/fender gap on the table in the back .. the good news is, that's the perfect difference to just add an H&R 15+ Wheel Spacer in the rear.

Are you running any camber arms up front? Fender work to fit the fronts?

Yes, for fronts I have Tdemand FUCA. I also rolled my fenders. For rears I went with Figs camber kit and an adjustable short link for camber. I also have toe arms.

i installed 19x10+35 275/30 and 19x8.5+38 245/40 over the weekend, after 1 minute of driving the caution and awd system check light came out. when i compare the rolling diameter between the two, thats 4 1/2 difference which was the issue. needs to be under 3%. im going to get new wheels which will be 19x9.5+35 245/40 with 19x8.5+35 245/40
