Normally, yes, it will tend towards understeer when you start staggering...

I have 225/45/17's all round and it understeers (not alot, but it still does), so with 255 rears it'll understeer alot (that is with the stock suspension anyway).

I run 235 F and 255 R, the car feels pretty well balanced.
