Default Need advice on staggered tire set up

I currently am running 245/30/20s all the way around. When my tires wear out (which is soon), I am going staggered with Falken FK-452 255/35/20 in the rear and 245/35 or 30 in the front. I'd like to go 265 in the rear but these tires aren't made in that size. I am slightly lowered on Tanabe NF210s. I don't have any rubbing issues right now. My wheels are 8.5" wide and I am not certain of the offset, but they sit pretty flush with the fenders.

Let me know how you think this setup will work...

I'm confused, what are the specs of your wheels? Cause from what you're saying it sounds like you have the same size wheels all around...

Yes, my wheels are all the same size, 8.5". I was an idiot when I first bought them when I got the car in the summer of 06. I was convinced by some tire/wheel salesman that I wouldn't want to go staggered...boy were they wrong (and I stupid for listening).
