From what I gather, if you have 19" wheels, you get a square setup but 20 or 21 get staggered tires. Isn't a staggered setup not ideal for an AWD system because the diameters aren't exactly the same?
I'm wondering if I go aftermarket 20 or 21, would it be better to get a square setup or does everyone stick with a staggered setup. I'd prefer 21s but the tire selection doesn't seem great. IMO 22s are a tad too big.

These are "sport" SAVs, so the staggered is about traction and grip...plus the big a** tires look mean from behind. Most other SUVs on the market run square set-ups, including the other high performance ones....Jeep GC, RRS, Cayenne. You can run a square set-up on the xdrive as demonstrated by the 19" factory set-up and that most of us that have dedicated winter rims run square configurations. If you choose year-round squares you may want different offsets between front and rear or run spacers for the look.
