Blnewt is also a great resource when you're finalizing your decision. Especially, when it comes to fitment.

However, wider rear wheels matched to high-performance tires will more effectively launch your RWD car. You could argue that a staggered setup on a daily driver is more about appearance, just like your big-brakes, then again I could counter that you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish your current duckfeet front to back... and those are staggered 7.5" to 8.5".
From personal experience, I had staggered duckfeet for a few years, then went with a 19x10" rear wheel, and I most certainly can launch harder than before (with TC off). With the OEM size and TC off, I had to be careful not to spin. Now, not so much.
Now step back and consider those moments of play are genuinely rare in a daily driver, and factor that into your decision.
Good reply J^^^
ChinkyChoy is the king of the squared setup, some pretty aggressive fitment he's had and they turn out very nice.
They both have their pros & cons, the aggressive wider square setup is a bit more prone to tramlining and not quite the turn-in of a narrower front setup, the extended tread wear of a true rotation is a big plus.
Staggered will allow you to run the most tire in back and still retain the better turn in of a narrower front tire, and the look & stance will give a nice aggressive look.
No wrong answer here really, and good luck settling on one particular wheel, we're going to make that choice very hard on you, lol.

Sounds like you're pretty solid on that.
OK then... Berk cats today, plus a Tanabe Medalion axle-back later.
Searching for this video, and I found it in an old thread where I wandered in as a knowitall noob, having just bought my car, and not appreciating that our exhaust manifolds were actually headers. Three years later, and I'm still embarrassed about being a jerk.
Anyway, this is a great comparison video:

Keep in mind, this is a coupe which sounds noticeably louder than our Sedan's exhaust. Hell, it can even be a sport coupe exhaust which is even louder than the journey. Berk HFC on stock sedan exhaust will be quieter.
MaQG37, I'm not as well versed in Coupe Lore (
) as I am in the Sedan, but with exception to the IPL, I wasn't aware the Sport Coupe had a different exhaust than the Journey Coupe.
. They've got proven stuff and can work with you on just about anything.
