It depends on the offsets. What sizes did Racing Beat use?

Running 255's all around would make the car handle better than with staggered sizes. Staggered sizes usually induce understeer.

Well, maybe in a straight line, but having the same size all around helps make the handling more neutral. 255's up front and 275's out back wouldn't be too staggered.
