re-animator: how completely different cars designed around completely different tire setup can be used as any argument at all in relation to twins. Next will be what, using F1 technologies in monster truck? There can not be drawn any generalization related to tire staggering between 911/viper/twins of different designs/suspension/weight balance/drivetrain. Sorry, but arguments "but it works that way in some other cars", and even more so generalized to all of cars, anger me a lot, please no offense.
One CAN with other means like different aero/suspension/alignment setup affecting front & rear grip to workaround and fix back artificial extra understeer from wrong tire/wheel choice, yes. But should one? It's so much better to not willfully pay own money for doing known mistake in first place then keep spending even more money/time/work to fix it. That is if performance/handling matters. To some not, i accept that fact. If car is never really pushed to limits, if car is primary for looks - anybody is free to do with their car & money whatever they wish. Though there is another bit that angers me a lot, if that is advised also to others and reasoned "but overall a staggered setup CAN be better for performance".
