You should NOT do staggered fitment on a symetrical AWD car. You are seriously going to #### up your center diff over the longrun. That's a very expensive thing to do since it's integrated with the tranny.

The only thing staggered is the width of the wheel. Will that affect it? I know that it would be bad if you had 17's in the front and 18's in the back. I really don't think that the width will affect the diffs.

i think there staggered to make the back fill out the spacing. As most of you know the stock in the rear look like there in further than the fronts. I think thats why it was done like that. But i do wanna bring the back suspension up a little bit. It looks really slammed in the back. I kinda want the wheel gap about the same front and rear. I have kyb gr2 suspension. Any suggestions???

Tire height changes mattering on the rim it's on. It's effectively changing the circumference front and rear, even if they're the same tire size.
