Default Staggered vs non-staggered. I need pics please.

OK. Between the tax refund and a surprise bonus check at work, I might be at a point to get new wheels for my baby. I'm pretty set on Chrome DD Bullits. I'm also thinking 18's are right for me. I found what I like at American Muscle. Now the question is staggered vs. non-staggered. They have a great deal on 18x9's and I could go that route all the way around. Or, get the 18x10's on the back. My question, is there much difference visually? The price of the 10 inchers is about $65 more per wheel so this is really a $130 question. I'd appreciate pics from anyone with either setup. That way it's easier to compare pics side by side instead of across posts. (Which I have a hard time finding hits for some reason.)

If you have 17's that would be cool too. That way I wouldn't need new rubber.

Appreciate any and all help.

I would be curious if there is a handling difference between a staggered and non-staggered setup???

Myself, I would not go with staggered. Too pricey to begin with, and they remain expensive as long as you own them. If you go with a directional tire, you will never be able to rotate them, ever! I have a little fun in my mustang and tires aren't cheap. If you are able to rotate your tires, you get more life out of them. Just a thought you need to consider. Staggered wheeld look bad @$$, but there is a constant price to pay.

Here's a few pics of mine - 18x10/18x9 with 285/40 (rear) and 255/45 (front) Nitto 555's.

Wow Nix. That is about as perfect as it gets. Your car and mine would be twins. (I plan on taking my stripes off and going "clean" when this happens.)

Thank you very much for the pics.
