If 255/285 will result in more understeer (I think you're right about that), then backing off to 275 in the rear would restore the factory balance but with more grip from the RE-71s and a little more width. I'll run the stock 19s to save a little money. And I won't have clearance issues no matter how hard I push.
After the 2018 AX season, if I choose to go bigger, then the "perfect" Apex 9.5/10.5" 18 inch setup with coilovers, camber plates, and more tire with way more camber would be in order.

Food for thought: 255/285 keeps the closest F/R tread width increase ratio, vs 255/275 or 265/285. It may be the way to go. Doubt my 4S’s will wear out until this time next year, so I won’t know for a while.
Also, while 71R’s are great on the track, here are my and others thoughts for the street:
