When you're driving GT races, you probably don't want it, but when you're a casual track hero, I understand why a more front end biased config makes sense.

By wider front tires I assume you mean less width stagger than before? Because every generation M3/4 got wider front tires from one gen to the next and the G8X still has staggered widths.
Yes, I believe they had to invest additional effort on the front axle to offset the greater front weight bias which creates more understeer. I also believe the staggered diameter rims is for the same purpose. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
