What I can't seem to glean from the calculators and multiple tire/wheel fitment threads is what a good staggered setup is for wheels on a RB V1 in terms of not completely screwing up driving feel. I'm not talking about emulating the stock squared up feeling, I'm just saying I've been in some staggered setups like on a 350z, for example, that just felt 'wrong' even though suspension was dialed in - the wheel spec differences between front and rear just felt off.
Is there a size/width right ratio from front to rear to keep steering and drivability in tact? Looking for help with this topic and I'm drowning in threads that have good individual points about various suspension variables, but nothing that seems to address the overall solution I'm trying to achieve - an extremely wide tire in the rear w/ a staggered setup so that when I swap my engine out next year I won't just spin everywhere.

The only twin I've seen with a tire wider than 295 is this car. IIRC, He sold his car awhile ago.

I don't have a wide body. Or a ton of power, but my experience with 4 different staggered setups is that the car drive better the closer to square the tires are. I am now square again.
