But, I've never been a fan of rotation, so I've staggered either wheel widths, offsets, and/or tire widths on some of my cars to get the perfect fit.

Staggering is very common in Japan where wheel/tire fitment is considered an art.

I wish we could see more of it here in the States (or Canada for that matter), and less of the one-size-fits-all approach; so many cars here look like shit with front wheels/rubber sticking out and the rear set-up all sucked in!

C'mon, just because you like the wheel doesn't mean it fits the car!

If you don't want to stagger, then find a wheel with an offset that will work all 'round.
