I sense the OP is after a slightly more neutral handling balance. Why the desire to "push the stability control" I don't follow. If that is the case, I'd say stick with wider rear wheels.
My last car, an E91 330d, I ran with 'staggered' summer wheels, and 'square' for winter use. The car was more nimble, with a neutral balance on the square set, not the slight understeer of the staggered wheels. All subtle stuff, but the better chassis on a square wheel set.
My present car, an F11 535i, I run 'square' summer and winter, for that same handling balance on both wheel sets.
My son's X3 is on 19" staggered wheels, I sense it suits the higher CG and gives a bit more stability/security to the top heavy chassis.
