Looks good you might be able to get away with 10.5 in the rear with +40.

Im a little confused and new to staggered setups...
Im going to go with 225/35/20 tires up front the rub isnt much its what I have had from my old wheels. Ive read so many posts saying staggered setups will mess up my tranny on an AWD car and to stay away. I know a lot of people still run it though. Any thoughts on that? Would a 225/35 tire stretch to a 20x10 wheel or what size should I run for the back?

those are some really niice wheels, they sorta resemble the Vossen 085 and the Concept One rs-55. Im not sure how much those that your looking cost, but i know the Concept One's run about $1300 new without tires. I had looked into to them when i had my 2010 IS.

You can run a 235/35,255/30, 265/30 or 275/30 in the rear and be fine for the rolling diameter. Remember AWD250 is not a 50/50 drive train its a 30/70. So you can run stagger safely if done rite.

I was thinking 225/35/20 front which i know works and 245or255/35/20 rear u think those will fit?

What is the tire size that is ample for a 20x10 wheel u think i could stretch a 225 tire on that or no?

Thanks for all the comments Ive been searching for awhile now and really like these Ive been emailing D2autosports seems like a good company anyone deal with them?

You cant run 245-35 or 255-35 that too much off on the diameter for the AWD. Just ask D2autosports they can help you. I know those tires size work for 19s. I just did some number and most of them dont work on the 20's setup on the AWD. Edit my bad your gonna have to run 255/265-25 in the rear and 225/235-30 in the front to work.

Wheels look nice. And u probably don't want to run a 225 on a 10inch....255 will be ok with your offset...or you can go 245 that's what I have with +20 offset.
