They require the driver to concentrate 100% of the time just to maintain their lane on the highway or when negotiating curves.
All of the wheel experts I spoke with including John Purner of CCW recommended not using the Oem sizes for the street. On the track, they are king.
Using 26 offset 11.5" wheels in front with longer studs and big spacers is not advisable and will look horrible.
Ideally a staggered setup with 275-285 in front and 305-315 in back should significantly improve street manners. If rotating tires is important to you, a square setup with 10-10.5" wheels would work best as long as the offsets are chosen wisely.

Part of the absolute joy of driving the car the way it is designed, is that it keeps you on your toes and hands on the wheel at 10 and 2. No time for texting or talking on the phone - its a pure drivers car. It goes where you steer it, brakes where you stop it. Road ruts from semis are a pain in the a-- but I don't stress. In default mode (in none of the track modes) I feel I am in good hands on the highways. Its made me much more conscious of all the f*%kups out there on the road
