275/35 is similarly wider than the stock 245 widths. with 4% difference again.
I think it's a pretty perfect set of tires to run on the base 8/9 inch wheels.

Thanks so much for this input. I have a spreadsheet and was calculating the percentage change of the diameters as well, so I certainly appreciate that! 4% is probably not going to be that big of a deal based on my experience / common sense. Speedo will most likely read about 104 when I'm doing 100mph, again no big deal.
I ended up only needing front tires so I cheeped out and just replaced two of the existing Generals for now. Probably next year I'll get the Falken's all around. I'm also now considering a more aggressive wheel setup with a set of Enkei wheels specifically for the track in the spring, so you might see me posting about that next year.
Thanks everyone! I'm still torn about getting a second set of wheels for the track, but it's great to know that the Falken's would work on my base wheels if I end up going that route!
