Will 265's in front and 345's in rear create any problems with Nitto Invo's?

I am getting new front tires for my 08 coupe and already have 345's in the rear. I have an opportunity to pick up some 265's for the front at a good price. Will this create any problems such as understeer? Am I much better off getting 275's for the front? All tires are Nitto Invo's.

Vipers already tend to understeer even with 275's... my advice is DONT. Wider sure, but not narrower.

I went from 275's to 285's in the front and it feels plenty better! I feel more contact with the road at higher speeds and turns.

ACR's run with 295's in the front and still understeer. Stay away from the 265's.

What Bruce said.

If you're just a cruiser, go with those little 265's. If you drive the car aggressively, 295's would be the minimum. I run 305 or 315 fronts on my ACR at the track. Braking and turning are much better.

Would there be any rubbing issues with a 295-35-18 as opposed to a 295-30-18 on the front?
