Well just to give you a bit of an fyi...
Overall rolling diameters have to be within 5% front to back in order for most AWD systems to work properly. This was verified by a Porsche engineer, because as you probably know a 911 c4 is an AWD car and it has staggered wheels front to back. Lambo's also have staggered wheels. 5% is a safe standard throughout the industry, so I feel pretty comfortable rocking a staggered setup.
I have a b7 A4 quattro with 19x8.5's up front rolling on a 215/35/19 and 19x10's out back with a 235/25/19 in back.
I think you would be fine rocking a set of staggered wheels, but just look around for setups that seam even. It's really hard to judge the evenness of tire sizes when you stretch, so you have to be careful, but go into the specifications on tires (I know toyo has a huge specification list) and then grab the same overall diameter size, or as close as possible, but grab them 1-2 sizes down from recommended on tire-rack.
That way you know your getting the same stretch front to back, and you'll be rolling the same diameter.
