Because the ABS will not like it and could fail in a panic stop since the computer cannot calulate the tire speeds correctly.
And I agree, staggered diameter combos on F-Cars do not look right.

can you or can you not change the tire/rim size via a programmer and correct that?

better idea: Don't use staggered wheels on an f-body.

Anthracid? Don't you guys mean Anthracite?
So staggered refers not to how wide the wheel is but differences in the diameter of the wheel too?
17x11, 17x9 = not staggered?
18x10.5, 17x9.5 = staggered?

I like anthracite, but i'm worried i'll get them and wish it were black like i have now.
(That picture isn't really too up to date, i've got a new manta stripe now and an SLP Grill, 20% tint, berger panel, and it's a 99 so the black mirrors also.)
