Ive rode in Zs with stock rims and wider staggered tires, wider normal tires, wider wheels and tires staggered and non staggered.

To be honest with you, if i had infinite money, i would have gone with a 245/40 and 275/35. The reason i went with 275 all around is to be able to rotate the tires. After i installed them, i noticed that i actually liked the way the wider tires felt in the front. personally, i think it feels a lot more stable than the stocks. The steering is heavier, but more responsive... if that makes sense.

Yeah.. I know what you mean. These wheels are to hold me off until i can afford 19" volks. I like the way that the polished lip looks but i definitely agree that it makes the wheel look considerably smaller.

Ahhhhhhhhh... rota's? I hate rota's... looks good though . can't wait to see what you do next. I think a drop and a lip kit would look sexy.

I hate rotas too
Thanks for the complement.

but yes, everything you mentioned is on my to do list. Im installing the springs tomorrow, and lip kit should be arriving soon. Im going for a very subtle, and clean look. Im probably going to change the wheels after that.

Looks decent for what you pay. I don't like rota's personally because all they do is copy whatever wheels they can with nothing they can call their own.
As for your setup, I heard it's actually best to keep the 2 size stagger front/rear to maintain the balance and avoid oversteer/understeer. In your case it makes sense since you wanna rotate later.
