Default Staggered Wheels?

I'm thinking about getting some new wheels for my RC350 RWD. Keep it staggered or switched to square wheels? I wont be taking my car to the track or anything. Would there be issues switching to square wheels in the future?

IMO staggered looks a bit better but you will go through more tires as you can't rotate them.

The poster already understands the oem are staggered. Wants to know if there are any side effects to going to squared.

Like JohnnyL102 mentioned, I'm aware that the OEM comes staggered. I'm just wondering if going squared in the future would have any issues when driving to work and back. WIth the squared setup, I'll also get the added benefit of rotating tires

You will have to get new rims and tires to do this....depending on what you get, will it outweigh the cost that rotating saves you?

Meanwhile I have tne AWD version of this car and looking to get something staggered.
