Message I've noticed that since installing 18x8" +35 wheels at the front that the steering feel is light on-center at highway speeds. The dead-ahead, straight as an arrow down the highway feel of the stock wheels is gone.

I'm using Yokohama Advan Sport tires.
My toe-in is set right in the middle of spec.
Camber is about -1.2 degrees.
Caster +10.0 degrees.

I'm assuming the change in steering feel is caused by the decreased wheel offset (to +35 from stock +45). Has anybody else experienced this?

I'm looking for ways to counteract this. I'm considering increasing front toe-in from 0.5 to 0.7 -- will this help?
