Default 275 Square Setup on AP1?

Hey guys,
I have a question. I have been running a 255 square setup with RS-3's for awhile now, but want to step up to A6's or V710's. I don't see that they make a 255/40/17 version in either of those? Is there a good autocross R compound in 255 or do all of the others take too long to heat up?

I am running TR Motorsports wheels 17x9 +62 currently with my 255's. I have rolled and pulled the front fenders and have rolled the rear fenders. I have no rubbing with this setup. Can I put the 275 A6's on these rims? Will I rub? I am more worried about the inside rubbing than the outside rubbing.

Any help would be appreciated. I am running BSP at SCCA and getting killed by the competition all wearing R rubber.

Jason Uyeda was running Hoosiers, "285/30-18 front, 295/30-18 rear, on 11" wheels" on his BSP S2000 without cutting the fenders.

It should fit fine with the tr offset. I was running the tr wheels with 275 nt01 all around and only had to modify the front fenders. I'm now running 949 wheels with 315rear 275 front on nt01.. Had to roll the rear hard but no cutting fenders.

I can see myself going to SP from STR at some point. IMO, STR is a great way to work your way to SP. Good luck!!

On the front or back or both? Is there a better offset wheel to use? I don't really want to go down to the 245 size if I can help it.
Thanks

The front wheel well. Do you have extended wheel studs? I think a 10mm spacer should help. Not sure if your fenders allow it.
