Staggerred or not?
I currently have a staggered wheels on my car. 
But I hear that, the tires cannot be rotated...
Is there a speed/gas/reaction/comfort difference if the wheels are not staggered?

(most likely not).Anyway, if there is not much difference in performance then I rather go with same size tires so the tires can be rotated...

I can't really tell the difference between the staggered 8.5 J x 18 H2 (front) and 9.5 J x 18 H2 (rear). If I was to use the same size tires, the manual says use 8.5 J x 18 H2. I've seen a lot of people using 19+. I wonder if that voids factory/extended warranty (most likely not).

The main benefit with the same size front and rear is with spare tires, but you don't have a full size spare so that doesn't matter.
Different size wheels/tires wont void the warranty, but it could cause ESP issues.
