9.5" in the back with 275's in the back. For traction, though it will come at the expense of a bit of understeer. I went with a 34mm offset. Also if your car is dropped lower than 1.25" then you may have to go to 265's unless you roll the fenders.

agreed if you got fi in the future I would look into wheels with a diameter of 9 inches or more all around with 265s. Would probably give you enough grip. Please don't go 7.5

Personally, I do plan on FI and will be going with the 9.5 diameter 275/35 tires at all four corners. And like some others already on this forum, the Enkei RP-F1s look like the ones for me.
As far as traction, imo, you should upgrade the sway bars and shocks/springs to control the roll and wheelhop before significantly increasing the power.
