Square Setup - Opinions Wanted

Stock suspension for now. From all my research, it seems that a number of people have had success running four 275 tires on four rear sport wheels. I've run 285/30/19

Stock suspension for now.

From all my research, it seems that a number of people have had success running four 275 tires on four rear sport wheels. I've run 285/30/19 in this exact same tire on the rear wheels before, so the 30 profile tires I have should work just fine on the rear sport wheel. I am really wondering what the difference is between running a 30 profile or the stock 35 profile and whether I should run one or the other based on whether I run a 9" or 10" wide rim up front. In a non-racing performance tire with softer sidewalls (i.e. not RE-11s), the lower profile should provide slightly better handling in theory, right? So my initial thoughts are wider wheel > narrower wheel and the lower profile isn't a bad thing (NO STRETCHING!).

I realize the wider rear wheel and its offsets may look a little funky up front - I think some people run spacers in the rear to help balance the look. TBH, I don't care about the look, and I have decided not to run spacers. So if the performance is there, it will look like what it looks like.
