i doubt we will see a staggered setup from the factory. with staggered setups, you can't rotate tires front to rear, only side to side, and only if they're non-directional. leave the staggered to the aftermarket.

i also hope they use a 5x114.3.

Why on earth would you not have staggered tires for a RWD car?

Of all the things people do with wheels and tires on their cars, its stretching that you don't like?

depending on other suspension variables, some RWD actually benefit more from a non staggered setup

Factory 18" would be nice... not for looks, but to ensure the ridiculously oversized brakes are comfortable =P
