Again I am NOT saying this is ideal or that everyone should run this but simply that this is MY experience with MY setup thus far. The biggest difference I've noticed is that with the wider front tire vs the stock 245 the turn in is fantastic. Felt like I had to fight it a bit when I was autocrossing on the RE050's.
10.5 up front is what I run with 285's. It is a quick easy and relatively inexpensive way to cure understeer. I am not sure it is all that Ideal myself though since it is inadvertently going to affect acceleration. I have RPF01's which are +15, and once I put a suspension on, I may have to roll my fenders a bit.

There are other ways to deal with understeer once your suspension is tunable. But for a quick dirty way to cure it, square setup on 285's works great.
