Here's about the best pic I have of the car that shows the ride height. These were +1 but I had to re-arch them another inch for the wheel tyre combo we use. From memory, your ride height above is a little lower than +1. HTH's  Apologies for the moronic expression from the driver

Can you street drive it with those radials, and are they sticky?

Yep, street drive on them all the time. They're the only tires I have for the car. They don't hook too great on the street on my car, but they do great at the track. I've tried several types of tires on this car and it does the best on the radials.
