I Just think it looks cool. I know I do not want monster sized tires maybe a square figment I he way to go. One of my hang ups with the staggered set up is the small differences between the front and rear rires.

I got a set of beautiful 19" 2012 GT Prem wheels for my 2018 off FB marketplace, and they look fantastic. Stock wheels so I knew they'd fit, and although heavy, ride well. Wheels are usually chosen for style, unless you're in a race (lightweight) application, so just get what you want. I personally think 20"s with stock brakes look silly. Thin rubber band tires and tiny calipers, but that's just me.

I agree with that. I am looking at 19 s

Is it goofy to spend all that cash on wheels and tires and stick with a factory option? I do like the way 255/275 looks on paper. I really have no need for an aggressive fitment.

I wouldn't call 255/275 "aggressive" at all, it's a factory option after all. Goofy, is relative, it all comes down to what you want. If it serves a purpose, it's not goofy, even if that purpose is just making you happy.
Then again, don't go by me, I installed GT350R suspension on my DD/commuter Ecoboost and I'm looking at 19*10s so I can put 285s on it. There are probably people who would call that "goofy."

Just my opinion but it really boils down to what you like. Some people like 20's some like 19's. Some like chrome or bronze some like black. Tire choice is also a matter of preference. My 2018 came with chrome 20's. Didn't really work for me so I went with 19's black, square setup. I like it and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

I meant I don’t feel the need for a 275/305 set up
