Yeah, a few people are. One guy's got a red car and another a black. I know that doesn't help much, but if you search my old posts w/ the keyword 'staggered' you can find them, but it'll take some time.
(I know most people use the term staggered for wider rear wheels, but you should still find the info).
Edit - also, at least one company is now offering 19" Bullitt rims... consider running 18's and 19's... I think that would look MUCH better! (DO IT... be the first!
)

)I don't think it would be a bad combo
Do it.

Well, one main reason why I want to try staggered setup, is because I want wider tires on the rear, but I don't really need to get new wheels on the front, if I don't need to, then I'd just as well keep the stock wheels up front, unless later I want to get bigger brakes.

I'm with you on this. I'm doing the same set up. I got a pair of Pirelli p-zeros 255/45/18 to match the fronts.
I originally had American Muscle 18X10s because I got a great deal on them but the 10s are too wide for those tires even tho Pirelli says they will work...anyway I'm going to sell those and get 18X9s. The only other thing is you will have to mess with is the center caps are different size than the orig. 17s. The original caps will be too small for the new wheels but you can make them work by fileing them down flat and epoxying them on the A/M caps or even siliconing the orig. caps insde the lip of the 18s.I think it will look good. The tires are the same height as the 17s.
