A square setup will actually move the vehicle toward a neutral setup...it's still understeers like a pig...but is better than an offset setup. Wide in the rear and narrow in front induces that much more understeer.

OP, are you worried about oversteer or understeer? How worn are your used tires that you're keeping? Are they performance summer compound or what?

Either way, I'll stick by my statement of putting new on the front. These vehicles understeer, they have AWD and DSC. So, fear not. Put the new tires on the front and then go drive it like you stole it. Who knows, you might be able to get that rear end hanging out in the turns if you do it properly.
