I'm thinking more on the 9.5 wheel for the street with the 275's. What do you think? It'll be negligible but less wheel = less unsprung weight, and the tire will have less "stretch" if any and more "squish" on the tire. What backspace would be ideal? Ridetech recommends 18x10 with 5.75" offset so with a 18x9.5 a 5.5"?

Its a 68? I'd stay with the 9.5's with 5.750in BS. You can do 10's with a 6" BS but you have to do some work.
