I bought non staggered because of the style of the wheel i bought. i wanted the concave look front and back. i you buy 8.5 for the front they are flat. Not the look i wanted.
Although my wheels are 9.5 all around my tyres are not the same size. Smaller on the front so the rear still have the wider track. No issues with handling

Hey man...just wanted to let you know...I'm in the market for some new wheels too...so AWD xi's HAVE to have the same size tires/wheels all the way around. I'm not a wheel tech by any means...but you run the risk of ruining your drive train if you put staggered wheels on...at least that's what tire rack and discount tires told me. I haven't made any final decisions yet, so you may want to look into it more before spending the cash.

There is no need for staggered wheels on an AWD car.

I guess someone should tell BMW that they screwed up by putting staggered wheels on my X5 then. I guess my X5 is going to fall apart with the AWD system, since I have staggered wheels. Someone should also tell BMW to not offer the 124 wheels on the 535xi as an option, because that's a staggered set-up and BMW should know better. Hahahahaha!

Please note the offsets on these wheels, along with the widths for each. Now please notice what model car this is for. Thank you.
Hahahaha! I find these threads so amusing.
I had a 2007 530xi Sport and had staggered, 19" wheels. I had NO problems. They worked GREAT and you could totally tell the difference with the wider rears. Just make sure you get high offset wheels and not wheels that fit the standard RWD E60 or you will be in for quite a surprise.
Here are some old pix of my XI.
