Does anyone know if you can put 19 or 20 inch wheels on a 2013 AWD? The current setup is 235/45/18s all around. I would keep the same width and side wall with just the wheel being an inch or two bigger. Thanks.

You can probably find 2 sets of f sport front wheels that'll fit. Unsure if you need spacers for the rears though

I see the 2013 F Sport AWD has 235/40/19s all around so I assume those would fit mine too?

jeverett72

What site has the best selection? I've checked out TireRack and DiscountTire so far

Yeah the F Sport wheels look good. Esp since I'm looking for a grey wheel.

Sorry, no recs for wheels as I love the stock look of the f sports.

Best bet is to look for a used set and ask if they would sell you the front wheels, repeat x1

coming from a RWD GS4 owner, I would probably run 19x9 with 255's all around on AWD.

@jeverett72 you can certainly put 19's or 20's on your '2013 AWD. Stock AWD F-sport wheels are 19x8 sitting on 235/40 tires all around. Keep in mind that every inch you go up in diameter, the sidewall of your tire should be thinner to accommodate the change in height...potentially leading to a more jarring ride. From my experience, the GS seems to ride most comfortably on 18s or 19s with a touring tire (e.g. Pirelli Cinturato All Season Plus 3).

Here are a few members with AWD and a 20" wheel setup:

Thanks man!

Hi Kuzumi, I'm interested in what you've found out about a fitment like this. I have a thread going on seeking insight on 255/35R-19 or now I'm thinking possibly 255/35-20, though I think 19's might be better for performance and economy due to weight and gearing. I have a spreadsheet of research from many a thread's data points, and 255's seemingly require very precise offset to make it work without rubbing, considering a mild drop with AWD. What are your findings and observations? And do you think 9.5 is possible along with 9 in width?
