Assuming you leave the rear tire the same size (275) a larger front tire will reduce understeer (or, in a glass half-empty, half-full world: increase oversteer).

While I don't have a chart handy, many tire manufaturer websites (Toyo's comes to mind) has a chart like the one you speak of.

A 245 should fit on an 8.5" rim just fine. A 275-295 should fit on a 10" rim.
