WB RIMS need help check this sit out

Ok I want to buy some rims for my RDX. Came across this site ( http://audiocityusa.com/wh_bmw.asp ) so I called them and they claims they their staggered BMW-MBZ rims etc.. fit my RDX.
They claim they have those rims with 5x114 bolt pattern. now the question is I want 20" rims but IDK how wide I can go without rubbing or affecting the vehicles tires sensors etc...

can some one please post the recommended size. their rims are 22x9.5. I would like 20x? and this is where am stuck don't know if 9 is to wide or should I ask for 8.

you're planning on going staggered? That'll make rotating an ordeal..

it'll depend on the offset of the wheel in combination with the width.

I didn't think about that... so what width and offset should i choose. I do not want it to rub. what are the OEM specifications?
