Curious what you are basing this on? I have been driving prepared cars etc for a long time and well setup 370z on staggered setup is completely nueteral from what I have seen. I experience very little understeer with 295/315 stagger. I think for average ax driver staggered will work fine if you have flexibility to use differnt suspension setup than stock.

I don't think shoving a 315 under front is going to accomplish much and for people in cooler regions I'd argue solo driver will have issues with getting that much tire warm.

I will be experimenting however I don't think a well setup car on mild 295/315 stagger will see as much understeer as you think. If anything my car tends to have a little oversteer. But I base this from running mostly cool venues as a single driver. Just wish more serious ax guys were trying SP/SSM mods.

A two driver car on warm surface may in fact benefit from 315 upfront. But honestly if I go to 315 front I'm going to 335 rear.
