At stock height, you probably don't have to increase front negative camber to make the 275's fit, but increasing the negative camber will improve turn in response for sure. If you're slightly lowered, the 275's should fit with negative camber, but there may be rubbing at the fender liner at lock. Do you really need 275 at front though?
As long as your suspension drop is reasonable and the offsets on the wheels are not set too far out ....... absolutely! It provides better balance to match the 305's in the rear. Or a reasonable square tire width setup for the track when matched with a 285/35/19. Plus you won't need a radical negative camber to make it fit. -1.5 camber or less should work.

If done right, I'm sure a 285/35/19 will also fit in the front and I just may try it this spring to see how it works

FYI: I have the Nismo suspension with a 1/2" drop and -1.2 camber all around.
