I wouldn't advise you to go with those +38. Too aggressive an offset for a 255 tire.
Correct, 9" +45 all around.

I've now had my front fenders reshaped to make them fit. The photos below are the the shaping still at the same height and alignment.
I've since lowered it by another 10mm and now run -2 front and -2.9 rear. My rear shocks are at the bottom of the thread and cannot go lower now.
No issues on the street (softest setting on the PPS9) unless i hit pot holes at speed or i miss the visual cues for a speed hump. At the track i run on the stiffest setting and only have the rears rub on 1 corner so far (a tight uphill corner). So i most likely will be raising the car by 5mm in the rear.
I plan to get some CE28N with +40 one day and hope i dont have to do anymore reshaping.

Cool, just curious what that project cost you? (assuming you didn't do it yourself)

Hoosiers don't have the tread lines. It has the wear blocks. They look like the RC1 or the Hankook slick.

Yeah I don't take my car to the track. Honestly I hardly drive it. But I've put about 2,000 miles on the tires just going too and from the dragon and they stick great on the road. I will go out and ride around town sometimes and even then the tires are awesome. Very smooth and ride great. But if they are really cold you can forget having traction lol

275/35/17 is a nice size alternative to the larger typical 275/40. Its too bad no one makes that size in an extreme summer, or id likely be running it up front.
