Are you autocrossing the car? From what I've seen here and other places, 275 and 285 are pretty common setups for people autocrossing their Zs. I'm looking for a set of tires right now to use next year for autocrossing. Probably 265 or 275 Falken RT-615s.
On the street, I'm running 255s and don't notice any problems with the front steering as compared to stock.

I was running the Nismo LMGT-4 wheels on my car, 18x9.5 +30 all around before. running 275-35-18 front and 275-40-18 rear. no rubbing at all, fronts were as flush as can be.
as for the steering feel, it became a little (but not too much) heavier, but the instant response of the way the car gripped was nice. I never really pushed it to it's limit back then, so i couldn't tell u how it would react on the track, but I liked the way the car handled with such a large tire in the front.
I highly recomend this setup or anything similar.
I know Jason was running his enkei NT03+M rims in a fairly wide width in the front, and i think he even had 295s on the rear....

Unless you are planning to track yor car I would not use that size up front. The car will be more sensitive to pulling when driving over uneven pavement. I live in Michigan and the roads are messed up with overweight trucks and poor maintenance. I use 275s all around for the track and I don't get the street (245/275) tires back on for a few days and run on the 275s. It is a bit annoying to be pulled here and there.
