go ahead and stagger the awd, its been done plenty and looks better. It just needs to have the tires stagger sized right and it won t harm anything.

Do they even make 20x9 all around? Maybe purchase 4 front wheels? But what's the point, the best part about this wheel is the deep concaveness in the rear wheels. The fronts aren't too concave. I run staggered on AWD with the correct tire specs n it's butters.

You definitely want to get the wider rears for that concave look.

You got 20s wrapped in continental DWS? How are those?

The vredestein's are a nice summer tire (wet and dry) Good traction and good handling but i dont try to mash out too often since potholes are plentiful in NY. So if you drive like the dukes of hazard, I can't give good input.

Yeah I do have 20s (245/35 and 275/30) wrapped in continentals. The ride is nice, quiet, can't really complain much about it. I was gonna go with a smaller size tire (245/30 and 285/25) but it wasn't available in it so that's why I was contemplating the Vredestein's. I live in southern California and the roads here aren't that bad anyways.

They were about $900 purchased on Tire Rack. I checked the Vredesteins and they'd be a little over $1000.
