yeah mikez if you could post some pics that'd be great. what offset and tire size a re you running?

the concern with AWD is that the tires need to have the same diameter. that way the circumference won't be larger in one set of tires than the other and thus putting uncessessary stress on the drivetrain. running staggered will be okay but i'm not sure if the cornering characteristics will change due to the wider contact patch in the rear.

u can run stagger as MrMark has done this or ask Passnu2. The only thing is that it has to be the same size but the offset can be off by a lil bit.

About the TTE springs, They haven't test fitted them on an AWD model yet because in Europe, They don't have it.

I'm going to order them from L-Tunedparts and see if they fit.

If they don't, they're going up on the classifieds =/

The reason why I want these springs is because they are linear rate springs and they're designed to work with your Stock suspension setup.

I like the sound of Linear Rate over Progressive even tho I sacrifice a little bit of comfort for better predictability.

If I had Coilovers, I'd be on them instead of just springs.

18x8 + 40 which is basically factory 18" offset.

Tire size is 225/40/18 which keeps the OEM wheel diameter.

Lowered on F sports

oo i'm thinking of running 19x8.5's all around. will a +30 offset work? or will i need at least +35?

also would 235/35/19 work with it all without rubbing? overall i'm thinking that should be a +2% change.

I'm going to run (in the spring) a set of the 18x8 OEM wheels. 225/40/18 tire size. lowered on F-Sport Springs.
I'm thinking about putting some spacers on though because the wheels look way too tucked. Maybe 15mm Ichiba spacers.
