    Staggered wheels refers to different sizes of the wheel. Particularly in the widths. For example: 18x8 and 18x9 > this means you have two wheels that are 18 inches tall and 8 inches wide. The other two wheels are 18 inxhes tall and 9 inches wide.

    The benefit is that you can run a wider tire size out back. In your case, your stock wheels are staggered (17x7.5 and 17x8.5) It helps with traction issues.
