+38  is what most Jap companies recommend for a stock fd.

8.5 and 9.5

225/ 255 stretched a little (i use this size tyre)

or 235/265 correct.

Mine are ET39 on the front and ET43 back. Mine is nowhere near as low as your picture, and it would probably foul on the rear arch if it was. The front just touches the arch liner on hard lock and the wrong bumps!
