Hello, well I was in the exact same spot your in about a month ago. Staggered or not, tire size and type. What wheels and size. Many pics on this forum and even more opinions. Also very good advice, but in the end it comes down to your preference.

I went the staggered Miro?s 111 route on my e60, 19 x 8.5 front with a et of 15. 19 x 9.5 rear with a et of 20. Your safe with 245/25/19 front and 275/30/19 rear. Wheels arrived today, can't wait to get them on the car

Yea, so there

My rear wheels are 18x10, with an OEM size tire (275) they have over 11" of contact patch. The wide rear tires combined with my Quaife LSD combined with the Dinan tuned 4.4L motor = Awesome baby
