Square set ups don't always equivalate to faster cornering/faster lap times.

If you have adjustable coilovers/struts and/or sways/camber adjustment you can dial in a lot. I'm going to be running staggered. I do with my 911 and M3 and they both handle amazing. The benefit to a wider rear tire is more grip on corner exit as you can get on the gas a little sooner. It probably won't make a huge difference if you're NA in a higher speed turn, but with FI it definitely will keep you going with more traction.

Obviously a wider tire will cause more drag and in the rear will introduce some understeer. Just stiffen up the rear a little bit and it will neutralize.
