BTW, I still don't recommend staggering the wheels whatsoever, including the offset. With staggered offsets you won't be able to rotate your tires, (unless you have them dismounted and remounted every time). When you can't rotate the tires they will wear unevenly. Typically on an AWD car the fronts will wear the outside shoulders while the rears will wear down the centers and cup like crazy toward the inside of the tires. Also, while some people are claiming success with staggering wheels/tires on the SH-AWD without drive train damage, how long have they actually run the setup like that? I'm sure most have less than 10k miles staggered. Just because the diff didn't seize up on the first drive doesn't mean that it's not slowly putting irreversible damage on the AWD components. It's a silly risk to take for a certain "look" and reduced performance IMO.

 

Me understand your point... I really do
