I usually drill a larger hole on the rim, even for Stagger front but some cut a hole on the tire, two holes one toward the outside and one on the other side more on the inside (less wear than in the middle).
This is especially usefull on softer tires like the ones used for dirt as it doesn't keep dirt inside (less) and it reduces ballooning due to centrifugal forces.
