Change /public_html group and perms

Hi,

I run a web hosting service with PHP as Apache module and safe_mode on.

I was wondering... Is is safe to change USER's /public_html group from 'nobody' (default) to 'USER' and CHMOD it from 0750 (default) to 2750 (with SGID) to make any new file created inside /public_html and any subfolder below it have group USER despite of having been created by Apache, thus allowing PHP to efficiently work with subdirs even in safe_mode (with gid comparisons)?

Anyone? Thanks.
