Is this for racetrack use? If not, you should be able to use four matching tires and adjust your tire pressures as needed for handling purposes on the street.

Don't do it. The only tires available in 215/50-15 are really crappy tires, like the BFG g-Force Sport. So the front is not going to grip well.
It sounds to me like your car is understeering because your tires are not very good. With crappy tires, you can turn the wheel and the car just won't respond very well. If you want really good handling, start with really good tires. I would just get four identical tires. You can get the Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R or Toyo R1R, both in 195/50-15 for around $116, or the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 205/50-15 for around $80.

Not to mention...he can still rotate the tires front to back unlike a staggard setup.
