If the offset is such that that your wheels/tires aren't hitting your brake calipers or fender, there's no reason why it wouldn't work.

when I ordered my car from the dealer, I noticed that one of the wheel options was for non-staggered wheels where both the fronts and the rears were the same width as our fronts.
With the ESP off it will make for some fun power slides too!

I had 4 non staggered w210 wheels on the other day. It looked / drove ok but needed rear spacers if you were to keep it that way.
