Square tire setup on staggered rims?

Are you trying to correct some handling problem by doing this?
On my car with the stock 19" I would go through a progression through a session where at first I would have oversteer as the rears came up to temp slower, then the car would be neutral for a while and then towards the end of the session I would get understeer as the fronts started to give up.
I would guess with a square setup on my same suspension settings it would have been scary oversteer for a couple laps, then just some oversteer for a while and then getting neutral towards the end of a session.
If you have enough adjustablility in your suspension then you might get it to work fine though so it really comes down to how you like your car to feel.
