Question about stagger/non-stagger
#11
You could go 245/40-17 front 255/40-17 rear, there's a ton more tire options in those sizes. That wouldn't give you much stagger, but it would be an easier fitment than 255 all-around as far as the front fenders go.
Honestly, unless you know you'll be competing and tenths will matter, I'd go with a staggered wheel/tire setup (8/9, 225/255) just to keep the front from feeling too heavy/numb/trucklike for normal driving.
There's a reason Corvettes went away from having 275s all around!

I would say go with a 300-400 treadwear tire for the first few track days, and then move onto a 140-200 treadwear tire if you want to experience how different tire setups feel. I don't see much point in going out of your way to buy staggered tire sizes to put on 17x9s. And 255/40/17 all around is a very popular setup for good reason.
