Wing left rears are belted while non wing tires are not. Therefore when you see the car get on the gas, the non wing tire is going to expand more than the wing tire. Essentially giving the car less stagger (measured as the difference between the circumference of the left rear and right rear tires).
Wing cars require quite a bit more stagger between the LR and RR tires than non wing cars do. This is largely because of the wing giving the car all of this left rear drive that non wing cars don't have.
Ultimately, it's not really possible for us to share left rears without either wing or non wing suffering.
