A staggered fitment is also referred to as a staggered application. Basically it means that you running different size wheels on the back of the vehicle than the front. Usually a staggered fitment refers to wider wheels on the rear of the vehicle, say 19x8 on front and 19x9.5 on the rear. This is typically done on rear wheel drive cars such as Infiniti G35, Nissan 350Z, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Ford Mustang etc. Running wider wheels on the drive wheels means more grip on acceleration and from an aesthetic perspective, large lips. The TSW Thruxton 20x10 for example carries a huge 5" lip.
A staggered fitment can also mean larger diameter wheels on rear like 17" diameter on the front and 18" diameter on rear. Some examples of this would be Acura NSX and Chevy Corvette in the aftermarket.
