Alright so been contemplating wheels for my Avalon, since it's a big car I think I'm going to have to go with 20's but I want to try and flush this out as much as possible. Before I traded in my Acura I was looking at Vossen CV1s specs 20x9.5 fronts +38 offset and 20x10.5 rear +42 offset rear. I'm pretty sure that aint happening on the Avalon but I still would like possibly a staggered or at least wider wheel than 8.5. I was wondering if any one has tried anything wider and how it went. I am definitely willing to roll/cut and pull fenders to make something fit, the only thing I see that hinders wider wheels is that there isn't much room inside the fender itself but going outwards seems like I have a decent amount of space, especially getting rid of the tab on the rear wheelwells.

Good Luck..The main issue is rubbing the shock mount on the rear..I dont see a 9.5 fitting without some mods..my 20s are a 8.5 35+ offset and sit flush with the body..I dont see the need for wider.

Why would you want staggered wheels on a front wheel drive car? You cant rotate them, it serves no point, and it costs a lot more...

Thanks yea I'm sure it will take a lot of planning to execute well so I'm just thinking for now until I figure out if I can really feasably do it or not, currently looking at MRR HR3s but not sure if the 9.5 with a +40 offset would sit too far in. I think I notice on yours the rear fenders have no roll and are stock correct? On my old car I ran 20x8.5 +35 offset all around and was satisfied at how flush it sat at first but down the line I started being dissatisfied with how they sat in the wheel wells.

Because I can and to me it looks good, not concerned about rotating too much honestly I cant even truly rotate my tires right now as they are directional, not much different than going staggered instead of front/back I can only do side to side, plus if I can figure out how to do perhaps a straight 9.5 wide all around I might not need to do staggred.

All stock..My idea was to not mod things and not be able to bring it back to stock...

Well yea.. you can... doesn't mean you should. Staggered tires on a fwd car is going to change the handling characteristics of the car. You're going to have more under-steer, and in an emergency situation it may affect your ability to maneuver. To each his own though.
