Whats the offset on Matricies? Is there a diff between awd and fwd?

Stock 17" rims for the XRS are 38mm. I have read that 35mm to 40mm fits and 42mm might rub depending on tire width.

AWD is All Wheel Drive. The rear wheels are only sent torque when the front wheels start to slip. It is not a full time system.

FWD is front wheel drive.

Hope that helps.

Uh oh. Time for some wheel locks. Someone's been eyeing our wheels.

I think Deep meant if there was a diff in offset b/w the FWD and AWD, no?

I'm guessing no.

Opps. I get people asking me all the time if my XRS is the all wheel drive model. Why does Toyota call it 4wd in the broucher if it is only part time all wheel drive? Pontiac calls their version AWD.

Thanks for the info, and yeah I was asking if there was a difference in offset between the two. :wink:
