Stagger refers to tire width. Decreasing it makes the car have more neutral handling. OEM stagger is 20mm. You are proposing 40 or 50mm which effectively increases grip in the rear relative to the front. When you turn hard into a corner you will have more a propensity for understeer due to the reduction in front grip (relative to the rear). Google understeer.
