I personally am not a fan of staggering unless youre putting down 350+hp.

I'd say 17x9 +20 is the ideal size with all things considered.

eh.. an inch in the rear isn't gonna make much of a difference... i nearly stated it for aesthetic purposes... but yeah, 17x9 +~20 all around's cool too. that would probably be my route if i can get my hands on some money

Because Tireracks is selling wheels that are sure to fit your wheel wells without modifications. The wheel sizes mentioned above will require atleast fender rolling for them to fit.
