Anyone runs squared 20" wheels?

I am thinking of getting a set of 20" wheels. I know the OEM 20s are staggered. Could I potentially runs 10" wide wheels front and rear, with 275/40/20 tires all around? Any harm?

Shouldn't be an issue. The Aftermarket setup on 22" are 22x10.5 front with 295/30-22.
And I believe even the 20" rear offset will fit on the front.

It will be fine. My winter setup is the 469s wrapped in 275/40/20 squared. I do have spacers for the rears to give them a similar look while running the summer 315s.

You run 275s on 11" wide wheels?

No, the rear rims are the same size as the front on the winter setup. Standard 469s for summer.

You noticed any significant handling differences between squared and staggered setup? I know staggered looks cooler

I'm the second owner, the initial owner bought the setup and I bought it from the dealer at a steal. I test drove the car with the winter set on and I didn't even realize they were winter tires at the time (early May). I had the dealer put the summers on before I took it home. So I basically can't say for sure until I swap them in a couple of months.

Winn, what are the specs on your rear spacers on your winter squared up configuration?

I have been running 275/45/20 all around for over a year now and it has been fine. I have never driven a staggered set up so I wouldn't know the difference.

19's come squared, looks wise staggered is better because of wider rear arches
