Staggered Setup Dilema

255 35 r19 92w tires

19x9.5 +22
19x10.5 +22

Is it possible to run this setup?

I've heard some frightening stuff about damaging drivetrains by running a staggered setup on Evos.

I have a cracked rim so I'm looking to find a replacement. It's extremely difficult to get anyone to sell only 1 or 2 rims. I love my rims but they're discontinued so I can only get second hand. I may do a deal for a set of 4, but 2 of those are 10.5's. I really don't even want them, but if I do the deal I want to at least know I can use them if need be.

i have also heard that all 4 tires should be about same mileage. For whatever reason seems to put stress on drivetrain. Also why do you not fix wheel?

No, don't do it. Find another wheel or buy new wheels.

OP posted his wheels are discontinued. So repairing wheel would be a good cost effective route. I have a friend from Canada that started a company called "Wheels America" that does awesome work on wheels from Ford Pintos to Lambos. Been in business for 20 years. He also can take your stock wheels and make them wider. Look into it. A wheel can be fixed for around $150

Why the heck would you put the wider wheels on the rear of a front-heavy AWD with a 50/50 center diff?

Cause staggered setup looks bad ***. But with AWD just should not do it. I will never do it on my X.

I'm not sure if you are in Northern NJ, but if you are, contact Proformance Industries in New Rochelle, NY. They are one of the best wheel repair shops in the country.

What about all those non-50/50 AWDs with staggered OE set-ups? Have you written to Nissan and Bugatti, etc, to set them straight? If so, please share what they said in reply.
