not sure why? is the common belief is to run undersized stock tires on stock wheels?

I have the base wheels in 18x9 and 18x8. I really like the wheels, but theyre too skinny. I was thinking of moving up to 19s

yea the base wheels dont give much of an option to go wider. 19's will def help out with gaining some grip.

The 265 on the 9" isnt that horrible, afterall i run a 275 on a 9"5. But there is a reason i bumped up to a 10.5 front for 275s or 285s.
But the 305 on 10" is just too wide. I can only imagine the sidewall deflection mid corner.

I like the stagger setup for DD purposes because it adds some natural understeer to the car. Makes it a bit more docile when youre just doing a high speed cruise through corners instead of actually having to be on the dime with your inputs.

the 305 on my 10" is wayyyyyyy more stable/more grip than the 275 ever was. it is not too wide.
