If you go staggered you better know what the hell you are doing (same goes for any mod that affects driving dynamics). IMO sacrificing drivability for looks when performing any modification is dumb.
Explain to me how it sacrifices drivability.

The only major downside is if the car doesnt have close to 50/50 weight distribution, then either the front or rear tires will wear faster.

I have had staggered tires on numerous cars that I have owned, including my current 135i which has aftermarket 19's on it. 19x8.5 and 19x10. It drives just as great as it did when I had the stock 18's on it. I have never had any problems with anything...
