It appears that square will be standard, and staggered will be optional. This actually makes a ton of sense, as 90% of buyers probably find more inconvenience in not being able to rotate and the resulting increase in wear. That and the decrease in understeer are great and it probably decreases drag coefficient a hundredth or so. But a 335i with 225's does not sound like fun, even an A4 2.0 gets a square 245 setup.

Again, it will likely help with initial buyer feedback scores, and for those of us that will immediately ditch the stock runflats and probably stock wheels, this isn't a big deal, but they sure have made it a narrow setup for the weight and power of the car.
