Staggered or Non-Staggered?

Staggered
Definately the Better choice of all the others, they look excellant, and really make the car stand out. Congrates. The staggered looks well put together on the car and does not look out of place.
Finally!! Took forever to get the wheels and tires in... had the rears custom drilled because I wanted the 10" on the back with the deeper "concave" look. I ended up going with the Hankook Ventus V12 tires as they have good reviews on here and other forums, would have done Continental DWS but they are on back order for 2 months!!
They may not be everyone's "cup of tea" but I wanted something with the concave vs lip and also something that not everyone has...

Thanks again for your all your help with this... I took it in to have the alignment done now I have the new wheels and tires on and spoke to the service guy again about the wheels. He this time actually admitted the person with 22's has really badly bent rims so it made me feel a lot better! It was actually kinda cool watching people come out of their offices to check out the wheels too! I have had quite a few people make coments on how good they look... wheel locks here I come!!

Sosoguju,
IMHO, Do not go staggered. I had a 2009 XF prior to my 2011 XJ and on that model it worked out great. The dealer had concerns about looks and handling. I did not see any issues with the choice, in fact the dealer placed my concept on several cars that they were offering. My XF was normal aspiration and that will make a difference. I had 60K miles on my tires when I traded the car, and rotated every 10K miles and probably had approximately 55% tread remaining. The tires were NITTO directional and requried a dismount on two each time rotation and balance occured. My rotation was crossing 'to the drive train'. Cost was not that bad since I went to dealers aftermarket guy for the work.
