I know a lot of you guys are running the 295/40/18 Hoosiers on the 9.5" on fronts but is there any side effect? Hows the handling? Any sloppy feel at all? I have on order and plan on 275/35/18 on front and 295/35/18 on rears with a 18X9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear but I'd like to go square setup with the 295/35/18's if I can. I still have about a week to change as TireRack won't have my tires in stock till the 19th. If the feel is a little sloppy, is the extra grip worth it? My events are all for Autocross by the way as I'm sure that makes a difference the recommendations.

BTW another perk for me is I work in a tire shop. I can actually remount my tires to rotate as well to get better wear but handling is my main concern. Not tire life.

Thanks all in advance.
