Staggered Wheel setup on X coupe? A mistake?

Hey guys,

I've been reading that staggered wheel configs aren't recommended for Front wheel or 4WD vehicules, but my coupe is an all wheel drive and if i'm not mistaken, drives like a RWD most of the time?

Am i mistaken to go down this route with a 2010 X coupe?

Thanks!

You MUST be very careful w/ tire sizing when running a staggered set on AWDs. Your front to rear variance needs to be under 1% or issues will arise at higher speeds w/ your AWD system. There's only a couple tire combos for every rim size that will work and countless combos that will be trouble.
I replied in your other post in the tire folder too.
