That's how I was thinking about it also. My train of thought got to the point where I decided I might be prone to MORE understeer under inclement conditions because my wider tires up front would lose grip earlier than the rears. That's where I got all confuzzled.

I wouldn't say that. I've moved from 205s to 225s Staggered and have seen nothing but better traction. in rain and dry. an inch in width added to each tire (almost) and no ill side effects. You may want to check the inner treads of your tires if you're having Hydro problems.
I don't know how much wider the NSXs are for you, but the move from 205 to 225 gave me no problems.
Again, i'm not sitting on 305s so i can't comment on that. Tread is the only thing keeping the tire on the road. a 205 slick tire in the rain will have less grip than a 285 grooved tire in the rain. same is true for a 205 grooved tire, it'll be less prone to slipping than a 185 slick.
