you will sacrifice some handling when going staggered. but staggered looks the most aggressive.
you may rub a little. by going with that offset and tire size, you are right on borderline between rubbing and not rubbing, but my guess is you will. simply shave/roll your fender and you'll be fine.

Interesting. I have 18x9.5 +35 offset, 275/35/18 tires and lowered on just Tein S-Tech. I have rolled the fenders and the tires clear that part, but I am rubbing just a tad on the black plastic inner liner nearest to the rear bumper. Problem is, directly beneath that spot is where the tab holding the bumper to the fender meet.
Weight wise I have a fairly heavy sub box in the trunk. With just myself in the car I almost never rub. With 3 or 4 people it'll catch for sure.
