Staggered all day. 22x9 front 20-30 offset with 255/30/22 and 22x10.5 rear with 35-40 offset with 295/25/22 Continental DWS06 and you are good to go. Been running that setup for years and it's perfect for me and I travel alot.
Lowered for Pic, but my front offset is 30 and rear is 38

I can say for a fact that is not an ideal setup at all. 265 width on a 9" wheel with a sucked in 35 offset will rub up on the front control arm, at least my continental dws did. So been there done that. Front offset of 20 to 30 is ideal, but not 35.

good to see you here as a moderator.. I remember you in the 2GTL days on Azine.
TSW recommends these sizes for cars at stock height with stock alignment settings. I see you're aired out and so the added natural cambering will definitely have +35 hitting the top control arm.
I've had 9.5 +20 on my GS350 on air but most guys who are on springs can't even go past 9.5 +35 so suspension settings do make a difference on what sizes you can run.

The original CV1's had a 35mm offset, later they got rid of that option and offered them with 30mm offset which I believe had a lot to do with how sucked in the wheel was at 35mm. I had a slight drop but a 35mm offset is extremely close to the control arm on the 4th Gen. For looks alone, one should be closer to 25 offset with a 9 inch wide. I think a 20 is perfect for those slightly lowered. I've seen a ton of setups on 4th Gens in person to me, that is my preference. I just think a 35mm offset is way to wedgied up in the fender well lol. I went 245 instead of 265 but a 255 is really ideal more ideal for load rating and quite frankly to not looked stretched like the 245 does

Yeah, I'm 30 in the front and 45 rear from VS Forged (20x9 & 20x10.5). Wish they'd made the rears closer to 40. I have a data system module on the way so shall see how it looks lowered!

And then these popped up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/21-Niche-Ess...9Wegdc&vxp=mtr
They're a 21 inch setup....might be a nice compromise between ride and appearance. *Sigh*.....

Those would look nice, 21" is a nice size on our cars. Tire choices use to be a bit limited, not sure if that's still the case. The offset on those wheels isn't ideal.

I have 30mm front on mine and its fine for the level 2 height I drive on. It is of course more noticeable like in my pic above when I'm dumped down on the controller. If Vossen offered the 20mm offset I would have got those, but I don't want to fool with spacers anymore so I roll with 30..its all good

You know what? You are right. I'm sorry.
The extra negative camber would make the 30 sucked in. Forgot that he didn't want to lower his ride. So that +30 would suit him best. I wouldn't go over that number
