i assume i need the 40 mm offset if i have to run a 275

why a 275 and not a 265? what can happen or will happen if i run a 265
There will be a 1% difference in tire size between front tires and rear tires. This can kill the diff. If you use 275 tires, there will be less than 0.1% difference in diameter.

On the XI, going staggered really don't give you much performance gain, but it's really up to you whether you want to do it or not. It is mostly for looks. I ordered a set of OZ Ultraleggera non-staggered today.
