Staggering is not the issue, the matching of rolling wheel radius / diameter is.
You need to make sure that if you stagger wheels the overall difference between front and rear wheel diameter shouldn't be more than 1% so to do that you need to fit the right profile of tyres front and back that work.
on my D2 the rear wheels are 10.5" with 295 25 21 tyres and on the front they are 9" wheels with 255 30 21 tyres which is a 0.8% difference and I've been running them for a few years without any issues. The guy I bought the wheels from however had them fitted to a D3 and had fitted the same profile of tyres to both front and back and got frustrated when he kept getting ESP errors because the wheels were picking up the difference due to the stagger/profile combination being wrong
