I guess I don't understand what you mean, you suggest a lower offset to suit a 255, but then suggest a 225 or 235 at the rear where inner clearance is most limited. You can run a 255 tyre on a 17x9 +35 at all four corners of a DC5R, and I see no reason to run an offset lower than what's required to assure inner clearance wheel and tyre clearance.

Still, even though you can just replace the front tyres more often with a staggered setup, I still wouldn't advise it for a beginner or intermediate track driver. Yes it will likely handle better, yes I run it on my own car, but it's also a shortcut to an inconsistent handling car if you end up with clapped out rubber on the rear and fresh on the front.
