My 2018 non-PP is on order. Daily driver. I will be replacing the wheels/tires with either OEM Foundry 265/35/20 or Project 6GR 285/35/19.

I have read some things about wider tires up front changing the handling characteristics (one example here http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1770997&postcount=20).

How will 285 19s up front affect the handling if at all compared to the OEM 265 20s?

You can always stiffen up the rear sway bar to for more oversteer.
His issue is wider rear wheels reduced rear slip angle causing understeer.
Under normal driving conditions you will not feel much and running a square setup will not have the same issue as a staggered setup.
