AWD Wheel Help

I would like to know if I can run staggered wheels on my 2011 AWD coupe. I'm guessing no, but other may know a little more than me. If I cant run staggered, I want to run 19's. What would be a safe tire choice if I run 19's, I live in NYC

some people have run staggered with no problems, others, like myself, just dont wanna take the chance.

so yes, you can run a staggered setup if your really dying for it.

staggered width is fine, staggered diameter can be a problem

Correct. I am running staggered 9.5 F, 10.5 R. No problems, no error codes in wheel speed sensors etc. Big width on the back is getting some inner camber wear even though I'm just at -1 degree. Other than that it's no problems.

There's some older threads where I explained how to use the online calculator to figure out what tires you will need to match the diameter. If the diameter is off by more than 1.5% (I think) it will affect the VDC system. My diameter difference is lie. 0.03%

This picture is not too great for showing the staggered...but the wider wheel in the back def looks nicer imho.

Keep the front and rear tire diameters the same and you'll be fine.
