AWD

 

Thanks. Would you keep us (specifically me ) posted on how does staggered setup work for you? Especially in the slippery conditions? I always liked staggered wheels setup, but hesitant to implement it with AWD

I realize that results might not be immediate, but I'll remind you in a year or so

 

I got them mounted up and ready to go on the car. I went with just 1 plus size as I plan to lower it and put wheel spacers on it. I am sure if I didn't want to do this there is another 10mm left to put a 2 plus size on it as I measured and found more room is left on the AWD trim.

There is 1 other guy I see that has done this exact setup on his 35T AWD and he lives in Chicago and has reported no issues at all for this winter. These new tires will give more ground clearance as they are taller but should provide a well balanced feel and meet all my needs for all year round use.

These sure look meaty, now to sell my Summer tires that came off these:

 

I will post my Summer only tires and my 19" Venom wheels and tires in the for sale section if any XE guys need a good deal.

 

What summer tires do you have?

While my 18s are great in terms of comfort and rim protection, as the weather gets better, I will definitely need stickier, larger rubber than current seasons.

 

I have the stock tires off my 20" Propellers and I am posting them for sale in the for sale section along with my complete set of 19" all black Venoms with rubber : https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...utoModClar=AWD

 

UPDATE: Now that I had these new tires on the car and went through some series of bad and good weather I am happy to report that I can NOT find 1 drawback from doing this plus size. These are staggered but the OEM tire was also so there was no side affects. Now that they are on you can totally go another +10mm all around if you really want to be aggressive, but for me the car is well balanced enough for me to just leave this size on there and just add some 10/15mm wheel spacers for a killer stance/look.

The front ride height still needs to be lowered on my AWD XE to level out with the rear so that is my next task, finding just front springs.

Did I forget to mention that these new tires also have great wheel protection as they have a nice budge to protect the lip of the rim? Bonus points !

 

I have the Odyssey Red and I too had the black Venoms. They looked too small for the cars and look too tucked in. I tossed them and got the Savini 20” BM14 in 20x9 and 20x10.

 

I'm pursuing the same thing. Wanna post up here with any progress, just so we can keep the topics compartmentalized? Leveling is one of my highest priorities for this car...
