You want more traction, run a wider tire. You said you plan on running a 275/35 rear which is the stock tire size. You need to be running a 305 at minimum.
Your tires are stretched because of putting a 275 on an 11" wheel. Offset has zero to do with that.

Depending on offset you have to camber the rear wheels for fitment which wouldn't make it 100% flush on the road. Would it not? Less tire on the road less traction. correct? The car in the photo is -5 offset and have to stretch the tires to get fitment that close to the finder.
I'm using a 275 on a 10.5, may just keep the wheel width the same, being tires are brand new.
