ah, really? 
I don't mind paying for dismount/mount service few times throughout the season. If you plan on driving the car you should know that motorsport is expensive. 
chu, easily solveable by going with +35 all around or +35 all around with two 10mm spacers - whatever you prefer
I chose to go with staggered offset only because I don't like spacers (personal preference) and I do like more than +35 offset in front

lol, park hard. i bet that's a common saying, but this is the first i've heard it.
So, what the heck. I am currently looking for wheel options for a set of race tires that're just for the track. this thread has been very helpful. I'm getting curious though, as everyone seems to be running 255's on these 9" and 9.5" wide wheels. I'm running 255's on my stock BBS's. Once you have a wheel with the right offset not hitting brakes etc., does the issue then just become tire width not fitting? I really don't have a HUGE reason to go to a 9.5" wheel if i can't fit any more rubber to the road, maybe less squirm.

There are also issues with fitment with tires that size. You must do your research when fitting sizes larger than a 255. Low offsets will help you the most, but then you must roll your fenders or get wider fenders. 255 is a very solid setup that is tried and true.
It seems like from your other threads that you are trying to do alot with your car. I highly suggest going with an easier to maintain and fit setup for your car and just concentrate on your driving. Ultimately, that will give you the biggest gains at the track
