I'm not sure if its still this way, but it used to be that you couldn't just search for "Xi" - it would tell me that the search term has to be at least three characters. Also, amazingly enough, with all the differences between the RWD and the Xi, there is no Xi subforum/category.

besides for asthetic reasons, why would you want staggered rims on an xi?

X-DRIVE also feels like a rear-wheel drive car more-so than say a Audi Quattro, which feels like a front wheel drive.

X-DRIVE is a rear-wheel biased AWD system with a 40/60 distribution under most conditions. There are minimal benefits from having wider wheels in the back for this reason.
