Can I use staggered rims on my ralliart??

Looking in to getting some nice rims. I saw some for sale but are staggered. With the car being AWD will that effect the car in a bad way?? Tires are same size just wider. What kinda tires can you put on the ralliart??

That's a good question. Never heard anyone on here talk bout staggering but I see EVO X's staggering so guess we could also

Same here but was just on EVOx forums and they have a whole section for just staggering wheels. I wonder if this was a MITSU thing or awd all together. I know of 2 Lexus awd in my area running staggered with no problem

No, do not run staggered fitment wheels. It's in your owners manual.
If you don't have one.. here is a picture of mine from a 2011 RA manual, says it can damage the differentials



Our cars are setup for 50/50 power delivery front and back unlike some other "AWD" cars that are more front or rear bias on power delivery.

Ive also been told you can run staggered but tires sizes need to be the same all around.

They would need to be that same overall diameter, but width should not have much of an effect.
