What are peoples thoughts on buying a front set of Apex EC7 in 18x9 and running staggered wheel sizes, Apex 18x9 front with 275/35/18 and stock rear with 275/35/19?
What's the benefit of a more square setup? Would that reduce oversteer or increase it?
What's the intended usage - track or autocross? I found running my '17 M2 on square 265/35-18 RE-71s with 18x9F/18x10R EC-7s using stock offsets, I had to run a few PSI more in the rear to get the car to rotate.

With my M2C running 255/35-19F & 275/35-19R RE-71s on stock rims, it rotates nicely with equal pressures front and rear.

My 2 cents is that people get a bit preoccupied with running a square tire setup. I'm not convinced its necessary. It's something of a moot point if one has to run 19's anyway. The height of the front tires effectively limits how wide you can go.
