265 should fit nice in the front.

275 F 305 R will understeer a lot.

then what do you suggest on the factory nismo wheels? id like to add some width to my factory set up. the stretched tires i have with my 245/285 set up looks weak. im not tracking the car so the over steer wont be too noticeable.

Well if you aren't tracking that's a different story.

Why would the few millimeters in difference in the 275 cause more under steer as compared to a 245 with the 305 in the rear... I am not being a smart *** I am truly curious... Is it because of the rear wheel drive? I run 255 up front on 20x9 and 275 rear on a 10.5...but I am on a front wheel drive platform...

that few MM will have less tire contact, which will make it push more rather then plant the car on the ground and go. I mean its your car so its your deal but with me personally I never do more then a 20mm stagger, if any.

Ive actually seen on the my350z where people in the road racing section talk about on a square setup still having understeering problems while being pushed on the track...saying they wanna try putting a 285 R 305 F to rotate more. No one ever tried it. People are rocking 315/30/18 Hoosiers though, thats probably a fun ride around a track!
