Hi
I decided to go ahead with staggered 22" setup.
Wheels: Blaque Diamond BD-F25
Tires: Continental DWS06
Front 22x9 +25, 275/40ZR22
Rear 22x10.5 +40, 315/35ZR22
Overall diameter is the same so no issues with AWD. I'm currently running them at 34psi, will chalk it to see if they need to be adjusted in the next few days. Biggest upgrade so far is the weight of the wheels. Fronts came in over 10lbs lighter on the scale (each); rears around 5lbs lighter. Stock 21s are pretty heavy.
Here are some pictures:

I assume there is a typo in your OP you meant 315s instead of 215s? Looks great if that is your style! I myself like meaty tires all around, but I know some people aren’t a fan of that. Are those Steeda lowering springs?

315s. Fixed. I ended up going with H&Rs after doing some research. Love them. So far they're a tad bit higher than advertised drop. Ride is way nicer than stock and not too harsh. From what I read, steedas are firmer than h&r.

I do like the look of H&Rs over Steedas too, it just looks a little high with them but maybe they haven’t fully settled yet.

Bad picture of the rear tire. Car was parked on the sloped driveway pointing forward.
