Cool Awd staggered issue? The big debate

IM GETTING READY TO PUT THESE VOSSEN CV1'S ON AS THE CAR IS DONE BEING PAINTED. SIZES ARE 20X9 AND 20X10 CONSERVATIVE OFFSETS FROM WHAT IM BEING TOLD 32 FRONT 42 REAR, AS FOR THE TIRES 245/35/20 FRONT AND 285/30/20 REAR TO MATCH ALL DIAMETER SIZES. HERE IS THE BIG DEBATE

IS THIS GOING TO F@CK UP MY VDC? TRANNY? AWD SYSTEM? I WAS BEING TOLD FROM MASSAPEQUA INFINITI AND DAMAYOR THAT THIS WILL BE FINE! BUT IM JUST TRYING TO COVER MY *** HERE! G35NYC HAS A POST ON HERE TALKING ABOUT IT KILLING THE TRANSFER CASE AND DIFFERENTIAL ON OUR X MODELS!!! JUST WONDERING WHAT I HAVE TO EXPECT

You should be fine with this set up. The rotational speed difference between the front and rear wheels will be only 0.1% which is well below the 5% slip threshold that activates power transfer to the front wheels in the x model AWD system.

2007 g35x........ i got the kit in last week did an inspection and they look really nice, good quality. ill give my results after they are installed and tested. one cool thing was that bc sent me this extra kit for the softening and hardening of the rear shocks.. it goes up into your trunk so you can adjust from your trunk on the fly. really cool invention i give these guys thumbs up for sure
