How would non staggered wheels look on a GS?

I'm thinking about buying Vossen CV2 wheels for my 2007 GS450h along with Tanabe DF210's. But was wondering what yall thought of wheels not being staggered. I am thinking of maybe doing 20x9 all around. How would that look?

to OP, yes it can look ok if you get lower offset for the rear, but again you have to ask yourself why.
the gs is rwd (i think even with awd, it has more power to the rear?), so wider rear gives more traction on the driving axle basically, and imho it looks more proper for rwd cars

On another note, I WOULD do staggered, but that's me.... This is because I like the look of the wider wheel in the rear, plus I expect more power addons down the line when the car gets older

Also, just out of curiosity, you guys say staggered is better, but don't you all stretch your tires anyways?
ah, if OP gets different offsets front and rear (and assuming they are available), then of course that can help with the stance. however at that point, i don't understand what's the point then? why not just do staggered and get wider wheel for the rear? i mean, you can't even rotate the wheels anymore which is primarily the reason for same size all around. cost wise the wider rims and tires shouldn't be that much more?

I also don't get what ya mean by super small wheels on bags. I'm on bags, tons of people here are on bags, and they run 20s in staggered offsets just fine. My brother runs 22s staggered on his LS460, he's on bags too!

My guess is the reason you would run a square setup is that Vossen's have much more "concaveness" on the 10" wide wheel. I'm thinking of doing the same thing with CV3's.

Not much different as the stock GS other than the selection of the new wheels. Lowering helps a lot. As rominl points out if the offset is different then you should go with staggered.

I was thinking of getting the same set of rims for my black GS350. But instead, I pondered the thought of making it concave all around instead of a non-staggered setup, given the fact that my GS is AWD. I have seen cars with CV2s non-staggered all around. They're not too funny if you ask me, but like everyone said it's the offset that matters, and I personally wouldn't go that route especially if I'm paying over $2-3k for a set of Vossens.
