Staggered setup - What's best offset, diameter etc??

For instance, I have customers who need 20x9 all around and when they get an aggressive order, they'll need a stretched tire setup so we go with 225/35/20 adding the extra height for compensation of the narrow width of tire but when we have guys who want to stay functional, we go with 255/30/20 having a lower profile so that the width of the tire fills in the overall dimensions.
I hope that made sense.

With the exchange, I get nailed on those VS01's. Double the price of my latest quotes from local shops on other wheels. I won't deny that they are likely a big step up from what the Niche are, but the Niche are likely as good or better than the TSW's I've been running for the last 3.5 years, which are still just fine for me. I appreciate the info and advice though. I'm also noticing that the Niche wheels in general get favorable reviews from other forums. I really like the looks of the Surge M112, but I'm open to anything that is similar, as long as the price doesn't kill me. I just can't afford/justify 4-5k dollars on a set of rims/tires. More importantly, my wife can't. lol.

Yeah, I paid $2599 shipped for just the wheels. Hard to compare built to spec Forged monoblock wheels to cast general fitment wheels that will need hubcentric rings though.

Yep...I get it. Believe me. But at 5000 dollars or so for wheels and tires (with the Canadian exchange rate), it's more than I can comfortably justify.

OMG...I'm so torn. I'm back to thinking about getting 22". I've seen some pics on the Wheel/tire thread that show non-lowered LS's with 22" setups and they look awesome. Again, my concern is the ride. But I've read many posts that said the difference from 20 to 22 inch was barely if at all, noticeable. I'm not usually this flakey about things, but I guess old age is catching up to me.
