Fitment advice: GT with progressive springs, daily driver with a little road course time

[DCBuckeye]

Hi all. I've been trying to scour previous posts and find myself having trouble finding advice that fits my situation. I'm basically a total noob at aftermarket wheels, but I understand enough to know that along with width there are issues around offset, but that's about it. I also am of the impression 10" wheels should be doable for me, but the tire online configurators I've found seem to not want to offer anything over 9 or 9.5". Anyway...

I've got a 2024 GT, without the performance pack, and am having Steeda progressive springs and stop the hop installed. This car is my daily driver, and gets taken to a road course maybe twice a year (nothing competitive, just having some fun).

What advice would y'all have for wheel and tire fitment? While I love the look of staggered, I'm thinking square may make more sense for me based on what I read about tire rotation and this also being my daily. Thanks.

Edit: Clarified inline the model year

If you are wanting to do a square setup with the Steeda springs and use it as a daily driver with the same tire and wheel setup that you use on the track, then I personally wouldn't go any wider than a 285 tire, which would work well on a 10" wide wheel. If you choose wheels that fit the rear of the Mustang, then you should be able to run the same wheel up front using a spacer. The size spacer needed will be based on the rear wheel offset.

I'm running 295/30/19 square on an 11" wheel for track only use, and it requires more camber up front than you would really want to run on the street. I could run a 305 on my current wheels without an issue if I wanted to go wider.

A staggered setup is easier because you don't need a spacer, but then you are limited on rotating. However, if you don't use a directional tire, you can still rotate it right to left, which for track use would be helpful in evening out the wear from side to side even though you'll wear the front at back at different rates.
