I also started out as the OP with a 10" wide square setup (albeit in 18" size) to be able to balance tire wear through better rotations. That formula worked great for me on my E9X so I decided to stick with it on me F8X. Installing a wider front tire actuall REDUCES understeer.

The problem with this setup is that the S55 has so much low end torque, that I could not put all th power down coming out of corners. I had to be quite patient with the throttle. While the setup worked decently well, I could not take full advantage of the S55 explosive power. I've since switched to a staggered setup with 11" wide rear tires. This combo is fantastic.
