Staggered wheel setups are not recommended for FWD vehicals where the non drive wheels (rear wheels) are wider then the front. This is conducive to increasing understeer - not creating overstear as you describe.
FWD cars by nature understeer. The goal is to have a neutral balance. A car with too much oversteer, or too much understeer is harder to control.

Reverse stagger thread:

If you track your FWD car - reverse stagger is the way to go. Wider rear tires on FWD = Looks; Wider rubber on the front = more fun

I dont drive a 3g tl, but something just tells me you're a ltl wrong. Maybe someone who's driven a 3g will say something. But your car should be understeering more than you should oversteer, right? Are you cornering correctly? If you are breaking to hard and going into the corner while still breaking and your not using the trailbreaking method your car should probably not oversteer. But I am assuming your car is stock. Do you have any mods done which stiffens the rear a lot because that can cause it to oversteer. If not you are not driving correctly. These tl's and most front heavy FWD cars should understeer a lot more than they oversteer. Plus car manufacturers increase understeer because it is safer and easier to control
