stagger is the amount the circumference of the tyres vary

moving weight to the inside will only bring the inside wheel down sooner and lead to the 'too much grip' problem.

you might gain a small amount by off-setting the weight to the inside but it will be tiny. maybe worth it for an endurance event? but then the extra tyre wear down the straights would cancel that pretty quick.

set up the kart for 50-50 lateral weight dist.

lean in if it makes you feel better :)
