There is nothing wrong with putting staggered wheels/tires on AWD. You just have to match the circumference of the tires so they can all spin at the same revolution. IIRC AWD can tolerate within a difference of 3%. I would recommend 225/45/19 and 245/40/19 and the fitment should be quite nice.

Actually the AWD needs to have much closer variance, if the difference front to back is greater than 1% the AWD light may come on at speeds over 75 mph.


Here's a list of compatible tire combos I put together, just need to pick the wheels that will work w/ them in width and offset.

Those Miro wheels you posted don't have enough positive offset, they will be sticking outside the fenders. You want offsets in the +35 to +45 range for an easy fit on your X sedan. Give Jason at GetYourWheels a call, he can get you pretty much anything you want at good pricing that will fit well.

I've got an X's Sedan and I installed the sport brakes all around. I like these wheels, in 19/9.5+22, but on the TSW fitment page,they don't show them for my car,can anyone tell me if they will work? Stock ride height also.thanks.

Mechanica Alloy Wheels by TSW
19x9.5 +22 will poke quite a bit at stock height. Here's a link w/ 9.5 +39, these will be at the fender in front and just a bit inside in back, but would have to confirm BBK clearance w/ vendor.
19x9.5 TSW Mechanica Silver w/ Mirror Cut Face Wheels
FWIW here's my current square setup, if you went w/ the 9.5 +22 you'd be 16mm further out from mine (9.5 +38)

They are 18s on 245/45s, but could run 255s.

I really like the look of those TSWs.
I'm gonna keep an eye on them.
If you do get a set, please share how it goes and post a picture or two.
I think it'll look sharp on a GxS

I'm wavering back and forth between the Mechanical and Geneva's.of course what I think would look best are the Rays 370z wheels with the wider spokes,but the width and price...
