After Market Rims......Staggered or Not, which would you do?

I have been looking at wheels for my ride and came up on these deals off ebay:
Non Staggered: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

Staggered: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7988147862

I particularly like the anthracite better than the hyper silver. Also I understand that you can not rotate tires with staggered wheels. So what do you do? I figured it was kind of pointless to have wider wheels in the rear considering Maximas are FWD. Anyhow, I was also wondering the offset that I should be looking for. Thanks in advance for everyones input.
Mike

You put up the same link twice. It says will fit cars 5x114... we are 5x114.3 It could be just me but check up on the before paying $1k and finding out that it wont fit.

Offset should be between 35-44. The link above states the size is the same for front and rear so roating wont be a problem unless your refering to the link that wasnt put up there.

Wider wheels/tires in the rear. More understeer. Never understood this urge when our cars are understeering pigs of the century already.

I always believed that staggering FWD vehicles is pointless, unless you're running drag slicks on the fronts

I have 18x8 front with a 41 offset and 18x9 rear with 37 offset and it looks nice. When I look down the side of the max it looks dead even front and back, no sticking out or any problems,It looks just right.

remember, in most cases, you can't roate your wheels
