Volk GT30s staggered on AWD

Hey all,

Looking for some advice... I'm planning to get some GT30s this spring and I have an X coupe. I've read through a couple threads regarding staggered/AWD, and understand the rolling diameter has to be less than 3%. My question is, how does the offset affect this? I am planning on going 20x10.5 +37 R and 20x9.5 +35 F with 285/30/20 and 245/35/20 tires. Will this be OK for staggered AWD? Also, will I need spacers? Thanks in advance!

offset doesn't affect rolling diameter so you'll be fine. Those are the same tire sizes I run on my X coupe too. Offsets do seem slightly conservative though. Get lower offsets and you won't have to worry about spacers! Are you lowered at all?

Thanks for the input.

I'm planning on getting BC Coilovers installed at the same time w/camber kits. How will it look if I don't get spacers?
