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.
