I am a complete noob when it comes to tires and rims set up.. I have been doing some research though and I keep seeing all these posts talking about oh if I run a staggered set up on my x being that is awd will it mess up my drivetrain..blah blah blah, I am just curious has anyone ran into any problems running a staggered set up with these size's...

Front 20x8.5, Rear 20x10
Tires: 245/35/20, 275/30/20


Im looking to purchase this exact size I have it all picked out but I don't want to jump the gun and get something I can't even use.. and plus Im not oprah rich I just bought this car last week and I don't have all the money just yet for these new shoes.

All input to help me further my knowledge is welcome.

 

You answered you're own question in the first paragraph. Trust me, I'm in the same boat as you. That was the only thing I didn't check before purchasing my X.

 

so many threads on this... I myself have an X, but im saving up for a squared set up all around.

 

There are MANY threads on this exact topic. As long as the overall diameter is close, you shouldn't have any issues. The sizes you listed should be ok, as long as you get the right offset. There's a 1% difference, which is within an acceptable margin.

 

Offsets shouldn't matter in reference to messing up the awd system .. But yes those tire sizes will work. I personally. Did 245 f 285 r which is almost exactly the same size just to be sure
