Still struggling with this one and understanding if an extra 10mm of stagger will have a particularly big effect on handling. 225 front and 275 rear. 255/35 isn't available either so I can't downsize. Any more opinions?

I added 10mm of width on the front of my 987, which did minimally reduce understeer. So yes, going to a 275 will increase the factory push, but if you're not pushing the limit often, you probably won't notice.

P.S. It did NOT make feel it any less "nimble" or "responsive", change the steering feel, or noticeably reduce acceleration.

Thanks for all the input on my tire questions everyone. I went with stock sizes and N PS2's, as these are the best tires I can get here in these sizes. Looking forward to putting them on in a few weeks.
