hi pros, ive a 1st gen AWD. i find 2 sets of wheel, but i dont know which set has a better setting. i want a flush, aggressive look. do i need spacers with them? or their offset already provides what i need without any spacers needed? also, i heard that even tho i have an AWD, i can still have the staggered setting as long as i have all four tires as the same size. is that true? please give me some valuable advices? thanks in advanced!!! :smile (2):BTW, the first set is (concave).
here are their spec: 1.) Front: 9 x 20 w/ +32 offsets, Rear: 10.5 x 20 w/ +43 offsets
2.) Front: 8.5 x 20 w/ +25 offsets, Rear: 10.5 x 20 w/ +35 offsets
 
1) Front: 9 x 20 w/ +32 offsets, Rear: 10.5 x 20 w/ +43 offsets

Front: 21mm farther than stock, you would want about a 15mm spacer to look flush.
Rear: 29mm farther than stock, you want about a 10mm spacer to look flush

Both offsets are fine without spacers. Slightly tucked, but not flush -- not a bad look.

You can run AWD with these, as long as you find the right tires. 265/50/20 fits 7.5 - 9.5 inch wheel width for example.


2) Front: 8.5 x 20 w/ +25 offsets, Rear: 10.5 x 20 w/ +35

Front: 26mm farther than stock, you would want about a 10mm spacer to look flush.
Rear: 37mm farther than stock, no spacer needed to look flush. Maybe 5 mm...

You can also have staggered AWD setup if the tire differences are VERY small in diameter. I'd rather just get the same tire all around.

Good luck.

Hey chedman, you're awesome!!! Thank you so much for your valuable advices!!! It helps me alot!!! I'll probably just go for the same tires all around. If I find a set of toyo tires 255/45/R20, do you think this is a good set? Or do you have any good suggestion on the tire size? Thanks!!!
