I think they do the staggered setup mostly to keep the inexperienced drivers out of trouble, i.e. build in understeer. My preference would be for a square setup of 275/35 all around, it will make the car feel a little looser and a little more balanced especially given the extra weight over the front wheels. I'm going to be mounting up some Bridgestone RE-11's later this week so we'll see how that goes. 275's should fit on the the stock 9" fronts just fine (hopefully).
