smallest OD coil over / spring perch
 
If i wanted to go as wide as possible on the tires I'll need the slimmest coil, any suggestions?

KW V3's use 2.5" coils
 
KW V3's use 2.5" coils. Those are just about as skinny as you're going to get.

What size wheels? Most aftermarket coilovers will allow you to run 9.5" up front without issues... and if you're running wider than 9.5" in the front, you're doing something wrong.

Springs as small as 41mm ID but you'd need a custom coilover setup for this car.

Was hoping to get a 10" rim at +38

That's a fat wheel for a car that can't even utilize the capability of a 265 on a 9.5" with 500hp.

I think you misread David's post... he was saying that a 265 on a 9.5" wheel is more tire than these cars need with 500hp. I seriously doubt you'll be any quicker around any sort of course with 285's than with 265's.

If you were really serious about handling you would realize that a GOOD coilover setup with 9" or 9.5" wheels will give you better handling than an inferior one that lets you run a 10" wheel.

You cant have everything. There are always compromises.
