its really up to you. do you want to be able to rotate your tires? If yes....then NON-Staggered + wheels spacers.

Personally...i like them STAGGERED!!

personally to me, if you are already at this stage, spend the extra money to get staggered. it's sooooo much better. the only cons i can think of is that you can't rotate tires

trust me man, I just got my first set of staggered wheels 2weeks ago and I love them. It may sound crazy, but the ride is a little better, and the handling is much better. Its not that the car feels really different around curves, but the rear end just stays soooo planted. I got a chance to drive along a narrow, winding highway earlier this week for 1hr and Dhadsmiles!!!!! LOL

Its true you cant rotate, but you can at least 'flip' once. The looks thing out the window, do it for the ride and handling!

(well the looks do not exactly HURT either! )

exactly. the gs rear is known to be pretty loose already (that's all all the braces in the back). with the staggered, you get a lot more grip in the back, it's going to help for sure

Does a staggered set-up help prevent tramlining...?

Default I like the wide look...

Thanks-It took a while to get the wheels and tires, but I am stoked they worked out so well. Gotta save for the exhaust now...
