Personally, I don't think the SVX will look right with staggered tires (but hey, I've been wrong before ). The problem you're going to run into is that the rear wheel wells just don't support taking all that much out of the stock offset. I'm running 38mm offset with my 9" wide rims and 275/45 Hoosiers and I had to move the fenders out 1.5" to keep them from cutting up the tires. I had to move the front fenders out 1" to keep them from cutting. My guess is that you could stick with a 55 mm offset for the front and go with a 42mm in the rear and not have to tweak the fenders. 245s all around and you keep your trans in one piece and still have a slightly different look....
