You'll love the RE71. You'll gain 1-2 seconds on a 50-60 second course without even realizing it. I'd go square or close to it. I don't think you'll benefit from adding too much extra rubber in the rear since the car tends to understeer (especially at autox speeds).

What widths/offsets do you plan to get? If you get the stock nismo wheels I'd go 275 or 285 square on the tires. Or 275 fr 285 rear.

I just meant I don't care if a particular mod bumps me up a class as long as it makes me faster, of course I'm trying to win

I think a lot of us thought like this at one point. The cool thing about autocross is that there is room for builders and drivers to both have fun.

That being said most people enjoy the sport much more when they have a car that is classed favorably.
