How could u have same width tires if they are staggered? Are you referring to different size rims (18F vs19R with same width tires) or same size rims with different widths ? ie 18X8.5F and 18X9.5R will not give you same width tires but you can have same OD (or close) with this set up. On the other hand having 18F and 19R you can have same width rims and look up reference guide for same OD tires that will fit this set up.
ie for 8.5 tire may range somewhere 255 to 275
9.5 tire may range somewhere 275 to 295
it's possible and it's been done..

sorry but the numbers were guessed... i'm just trying to get my point out.. which is .. you can have different wheel width front and back as long as their range are w/i each other.. like 275 between the tires.. then it's possible....
sorry 8.5 probably correlates to more like 225 to 235 ish

It's possible but using same width tires(255 or 275) on 8.5 vs 9.5 will give u an ackward appearance. One will be stretched while the other is not. And beside using 255 on front....rubbing? too big?

all i'm doin is givin' option which wouldn't ruin your awd setup... with 8.5 and 9.5 same tire... it may look awkward close up... i mean like less than foot away... but if you bout 5ft away... its' not as noticible.. i've seen it... i've never done it... again i'm not saying .. everyone go do it..
i'm not supporting the cause at all.. just an option...

I don't encourage it too but it can be done.

if you guys want staggered look.. why don't you get diff offsets but same diameter and width.. wouldn't that work. I did that on my accord (call me a ricer.. i dont' care) but i had Axis 7 Mod and i had a 2.5" lip rear in the back and 1" lip in the front but it was 18x7.5 all around. hahaha
