There are a few people running that set up. I"m going 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. There are several threads on this already. My wheels are 20x9 and 20x10 BTW.

Sounds good, just hoping the offsets are ok I see people with front +35 -back +48 but I have front +32 - back +42. I don't want to have rubbing issues.

With that combo, you shouldn't run into rubbing issues. If you were running a 245/35 up front, I think you'd rub.

Yeah, you don't want staggered on an AWD vehicle, It'll mess-up the AWD distrobution. That's why you don't see Evo's, STi's and other variants of AWD cars use STAGGERED wheels for their setup.

ya but if you calculate 235 x 35 % front wheels it comes out to 82.25.
back wheels are 275 x 30 % = to 82.5. that's only .25 millimeter off.
i think that's as safe as you can get for the awd system without going non staggered.
it all comes down to diameter of wheel tire combo not the width of the rim. for all the research i did, i think that's right.
or am i wrong?

I'd like a technical confirmation as well. I'm still eyeing the Linea Corse LC818 for my AWD and they only come staggered.

if they ONLY come staggered, why don't you just get 2 sets of the staggered wheels? like 4 fronts or 4 rears to make a complete AWD set?

I can think of a few reasons not to do that.

1. That's a large cash layout up front
2. I might not be able to sell a set of 4 19x10" rims
3. I like the look of the deep concave that the 10" gives you

Wheels look okay. It seems like you liked the vossen cv3's, but wanted lips (which is the reason I don't like the cv3's that much, no lip).
