I'm not happy with the way they look at all. Some tires of the same size can be smaller or larger depending on which brand you buy. These are way to small width wise. I guess A/S's are made different than Sports and look different.
I really don't have time to start paying with buying tires and seeing what rim range will fit the rim and how wide I can go. I could easily have installed the rear size on the front but need to find a rear size of the same brand that would fit.
The only tire I could use was Hankook Ventus A/S.
Stock size
F 255/50ZR-19
R 285/45ZR-19
Anyone fitted larger A/S' that?

Those Ventus does look very narrow for its size
One way to compare and contrast is to use the "tread width" parameter on TireRack. A quick comparison showed that the Ventus's 285 have the same tread width of the Kumho Ecsta STX KL12's 255 (both have 9.5" tread width)!
Unfortunately, there aren't that many choices for staggered A/S anymore as you've found. I'm currently running those Kumho STX on the front, but are not very happy with them. I may just have to give up A/S on staggered and go back to a summer setup
