Want to get staggered rims, but have AWD coupe.

So im looking at vossen CV1's and i have a choice of 20x9 in front and 20x10.5 in the back, but to my knowledge this cannot be done due to AWD. So would it look weird if i ran all 20x9 or all 20x10.5, after reading a few forums posts i came across someone wanting g37S rims on the awd, and to do this he would have to buy 4 fron wheels. So that would basically mean i would have to run 20x9's? This wheel buisness is so confusing

Just trust the vendor you purchase from to give you the product that will work best for you.
To answer your question you can stagger any AWD vehicle without issue. We can provide you with the wheels, tires, and everything else you will need to run the staggered CV1's on your G.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar, pm sent, ive heard alot of people saying staggering will wear out the AWD systems alot faster then it normally would, which i woul really like to avoid

I know you can run it, but you shouldnt if you think about it in a long run.
The Weight of wheels will be different altho diameter might be the same.
That is not the main idea of AWD so.. you should just keep 4 wheels exactly same.

As long as the outside diameter of the tires you use are the same then it's fine. Can't have a tire taller on one end vs another with awd or you'll have issues down the road.

I don't know how bad it can be to run staggered rims on an AWD car. I know the X5 M comes with AWD and staggered wheels, 315 in the read and 275 in front.

However, if this bothers you, you could always look at getting the same rim, same width, but with a different offset resulting in a larger lip in the rear. Say you have a 9in wide rim with a 3.5in lip in the rear and a 1in lip in front, it would result in a staggered look...
