Personally I like square if everything is tucked nicely, ie not outside the wheel well.
If you are going wider where the tires/wheels stick out a bit then I'd go staggered. I never liked the look of the fronts sticking out at all. Just personal taste.

From a performance standpoint, square would be better since it results in less understeer. No real disadvantages to square. Only reason to go with wider rear wheels is either you want a lot more rubber back there or you want a wider rim for a bigger lip or more concavity. Not a lot of FX's make enough power to require wider rubber in back so that really just leaves looks as the reason for getting wider wheels in back. I ran staggered 22"s and now I run square 20"s. I prefer square.

There isn't that much difference in the front and rear body of our car to really go staggered in a big difference......so say like 9j at the front and 10.5j at the rear. If you go one piece wheel setup these often are the sizes they offer. Meaning one wheel will be tucked.....most lickely the front and the rear would be a lot wider compared to the front in optic. I have a staggered setup but there is only a difference of little bit more than half an inch. If you go multipiece you would be able to get a setup more of your liking bur in single they often make a clear difference in width so you can see it clearly.
