I have the AWD, im not too sure about the offset... I did have problems with the tire rubbing, to solve it I just got the fenders rolled all the way and now its fine... If i get a chance i'll take more pics of my car, it looks pretty sick from the back with the 285's

I thought AWD's had to be non stag setup?

yes this is correct the most important factor is that the circumference "or" your rotation diameter is close within tolerance. 19 x 10 rear and 19 x 8.5 front is perfectly fine. just make sure you double check your tire sizes or PM MrMark and get your rims and tires from him

we have to change this at least throw a 8.5 front rim and 9.5 rear rim we can play with the offset or throw some spacers to push it out more. trust me you will be happy with it

hey passnu or anyone else.. care to explain why it works (not that i dont believe you), or at least what the limit is, 19x8.5 and 19x10 is pretty staggered no? how far can we take it and what can go wrong on the awd?

btw, this is one hell of a setup MrMark has
