Great question! There are a couple reasons why we recommend square fitments. On xDrive cars, it simplifies the overall rolling diameter equation. There are only a small handful of staggered fitments that have the matching rolling diameters required for xDrive.
The 18x8.5" ET35 is also a direct fit front and rear, where as using a wider wheel in the rear such as the 18x9" ET30 or 9.5" ET35 is a bit aggressive and may require rolled fenders or negative camber to prevent rubbing.
A staggered setup is definitely not off-limits though.
