I have adjustable sway bars and coilovers which can help me dial out the understeer from the staggered set up. I've ran many staggered set ups in the past with great results. Porsche runs staggered on their GT3 and GT3 Cup. I don't want to list all the others but I'm not worried about it as I'm setting up my suspension with the staggered wheel in mind.

Thanks Dan, I happened to browse across that the other day. It made me think it probably wouldn't be a good idea to try out given the detail you wrote up.
