We haven’t seen the official M5CS specs yet though but nothing about staggered wheels has been mentioned.

I believe it's a balancing excercise. You have to choose between 'wants' that are conflicting: and that is better behaviour for going into the turn: initiate it without too much understeer, and the second is maximum acceleration in the exit of the turn. I presume also that a pro driver would prefer a stiffer wheel on the front because he can better play/control the initiation phase, which I clearly couldn't
The guys running nordschleife best times will be pro's and prefer stiffer and lower side walls.
