18' to 20'

i have an 05' sedan 5AT. i currently have 18" rims with the same tire size all around. I am going to be getting 20' rims very soon. Does it matter if i get the same size tire all the way around again?..Or should i get the back bigger and the front smaller? ...What is the pro and cons of both options? Staggered to non-staggered? thanks

Non-staggered give the car a more balanced feel, but if you want more tire on the road for straight-line acceleration, staggered is the way to go.

If you go staggered unidirectional tires, your only options for rotating the tires are to have them re-mounted and balanced every time. With non-staggered unidirectional, you can at least swap the front and rear on the the same side.
