Are Staggered Wheels Necessary?
Like the title says....How "necessary" are they? My 7 is a 4 lug and I'd like to get a set of RPF1's or TE37s but they are only available in 16x7 or 17x7/7.5...
I'd like to get off of the 14 inchers...some day!

but.. i dont understand what you are asking. why do you want bigger wheels? are you saying that you can only get 2 16x7 and 2 17x7? why cant you run all 4 the same sizes? also 5 lug swaps arent hard and relatively cheap. the option for bigger wheels is better at 5x114.. but your 4 lug 14" wheeled s4 na car probably loves those little wheels.
i would just enjoy it as is.

no, the stock wheels are the same size all the way around.

staggered ususally means a different with or diameter. Offset will change with width.
You don't need to run staggered wheels but the rear hubs tend to sit in a bit (or the rear arches stick out a bit) so rear wheels often require a bit more negative offset or width.
For example i Had 8J +30 an and 9J + 36 advans and they just about lined up front and back
as for stagered diameter. 16 front 17 rear on the same profile tyre looks awesome
