Oh one more thing, to really get use out of the staggered setup, you should stagger the the wheel widths too.
what are you basing this off of?

experience...

Overall heighth or rolling radius, the 235/45R17 and 255/40R17 are the closest.

If you wanna take advantage of the widths, having a wider wheel to accommodate the wider tire will be more advantageous...

either, cuz i think staggering for oversteer shouldn't be done. there are much better ways to obtain oversteer. i maintain what i said about the breakway characteristic reasoning for running staggered.
