The base wheels' widths are 8" front and 9" rear so can you fit anything wider than 245/275 on there? I'm also gonna be looking for a new set of tires next spring, but I will only be doing HPDE's and DD my car on those tires as well. I was thinking about getting RE-11's or maybe the Conti DW to save some money. What do you guys recommend? I'm still a beginner BTW so it's not like I really need the stickiest tire, but rather something that has a good balance of grip and that I can DD without many issues.

That's about the max that makes sense for the base wheels. Going wider is just going to add weight and not give any more contact patch.

The best trackable street tires are the RE-11 and the RS-3. I wouldn't track on the Conti's.
