If you want you can do it, why can't you?

Only a few people on here run stagger on their AWD, and all of their cars spend most of its life time under covers and in the garage, only one person runs stagger and drives about is probably love63 (I think).

So you wont get much feedback in regards to this subject except speculation as to the long term adverse effects of stagger on the awd.

I advice you my friend to look in the forums before posting

here are the threads you need to look at:

After Market Wheels Thread:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...our-setup.html

Branded Wheels ( Volk, Enkei, BBS..etc)
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ead-index.html

You dont want to have a different weight displacement on an AWD car. You can get away with it yet its not recomended.
thanks for ur feedback what would u recommend on doin

Personally I would go for it and just keep the same tire wall size front and back so both front and back rolls with rotational velocity (same rolling diameter).

I myself went with non staggered, but I have 1" spacer in the rear to stick my wheel out, which is like the same thing as stagger and running same rolling diameter instead of the typical larger tires in the rear.

that wouldnt work.

35% of 235cm will give you a lower tire wall height as compare to 35% of 265cm.

Having the rear tires rotate slower than the front tires is a sure way to wear down your all wheel drive train.

im running staggered on my awd (oem 18s) and the downfall is you cant rotate your tires, so that means youll probably go through two sets of rears before swapping your fronts. and yes, its my daily (with too many miles already). i would go 19x8.5 all around if i were you
