Is 275 the ideal width for a 9.5"?

Yes, the 17X9.5 +38 will technically be a +18 due to the 20mm spacer you need to run to clear the brembos. I would go with the 17X9.5 +38 due to being able to rotate the wheels and simplicity of making them fit under the rear fenders.
When running spacers wouldnt your stock studs needed to be grinded down becuz it'll be in the way on the actual wheel?

well let me add my 0.02 since im runnin 17x8.5 rpf1s on my evo with a + 35mm offset, im runnin a 245 40 17 with a , mine clear even with tein springs lowered, you can go a 255 40 17, which is about a little over an inch OD over stock, so offset is key to havin clearance, go with the higher offset and your wheels will sit more flush into the fender well, which means clearance with the tires when turning, rears will clear no matter what, fronts you should be good with either tire size, hopefully i helped hha
