I ordered mine with the staggered 18s. I would prefer the A/S, but am hoping that the Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFTs come out in 225/45R18 and 255/40R18 by the time I have to replace the tires. Those tires are far more likely to be available for the 18" wheels, than the 19", in the near future.

We don't get that much rain or snow here, but I am willing to give up a little performance if it means I only have replace the tires half as often. I realize that 18" A/S partially defeats the purpose of getting the staggered arrangement, but I am after the best balance of cost and performance I can get. This will also be my only vehicle and I will likely have to drive it in the rain sometimes.

I know there are many people that think the 19s and 20s look better, but I think the 18s look fine. The 18s will also be cheaper to replace.
