Anybody thinking of pulling a GT500 with their MGT and putting staggered wheels on it?

Say 1/2 or 1 inch wider on the back with corresponding wider rear tires.

19 x 9 up front 255/40/19
19 x 9.5 in rear 285/35/19

What suspension mods would need to be done to accomodate that set up or would it be a-ok with no suspension changes?
I know, I know, it may make the car understeer a bit more, but if you aren't thinking of tracking the car (but probably dragging it) is there any other drawbacks to outweigh the additional traction benefits in the rear?

There should be no problem with adding wider wheels to the car. I had 10" wide wheels on the back and 9" on the front on my 07 with zero problems...
