The G8X weighs more than the F8X, I'd be looking to maximize the wheel width and go for a square 11 or 11.5 if it fits

While I get your point, 9.5 allows for better tire choices especially in 19inch there aren’t a lot of 200TW in 20x11 or 19x10.5 while it might be undersized to you, I have found it to work great on track. If I was to make the car a track car only than I would go wider but it also means bigger spacers and so on.
Also the weight argument is almost negligible I can attest to that. On another note after 6000 miles and 4 track days I had to replace the front brake pads already!
