Can you run staggered wheels and tires on a AWD?

AWD cannot use staggered wheel sets! Puts strain on the AWD system.

Remove them. Its a BIG NO NO.

Tires are bad on those rims anyways and you can get good Michelin all seasons but get the rims all same size. Sorry

Not necessarily true if the difference of the tires rolling diameter is less then 5 % front to back you should be fine. Having said that the ride height of my awd GS seems different front to back and this would create even more of a difference in rolling diameter. Looking at pictures of all of your rwd GS sitting an inch lower makes me

Well damn this crushes my dream! I was bought to get a staggered set of F-Sports but heard it can be done. Oh well. Yes I would get the Michelin's they have to be the best compared to the Bridgestones, which are trash.
