So I see a lot of guys going to a square setup to allow for tire life extending rotations, but I want to know why the GT350 was designed with the staggered setup originally?
I always thought it was a way for the factory to build in understeer, but that doesn't seem to make any sense with the car seemingly designed for people with a track focus. Plus it doesn't seem that understeer is an issue with the front tires being slightly narrower than the rears anyway.
Is it difficult to get a wider front tire to fit?
Anyway, basic question is just what is the design/performance reason that the car comes with a staggered setup from the factory?
