i have a non-staggered set up and i like it better than the staggered set up because the car doesn't pull left or right due to road imperfections. it also saves money due to the fact that you can rotate the tires. only thing is, it looks less aggressive than staggered

Not at a drag strip will it alow the car to put more usable hp to the ground. Way to solve that would be to use lighter rims but use a tire with a nice wide tire patch.

sounds like airplane
yeah! weight reduction! run 165/55/13s!
honestly, there is nothing wrong with running the sizes your considering at all- i'd do it if it meant i got the look i wanted (unless you have real performance modifications planned and really want your traction)
as far as staggered chasing bumps in the road etc.- i don't think staggered causes that. it might to soem degree, but tire design, width in the front, and alignment are the determining factors in my experience.

If I could I'd go 245's all around if I were on the 17" rims.
Our biggest prob would be front fitment especially using 18" rims.
