Staggered means that the rear wheels are wider than the front. Non-staggered means all 4 wheels are the same size. The OEM wheels are staggered (18 x 7.5 front and 18 x 8.5 rear I think).

Here are staggered 18's on our car.

Non-staggered 18's. Same wheels as above but non-stagger.

So do they rub? or did you roll some fenders?

18's are just right ! there is no need to go for 19's in my opinion they even look too big in the front especially (unless it is a deep dish rim)

heres mine

Berk, what wheels are the staggered setup? And what sizes?

They look awesome
