I'm planning on purchasing a second set of wheels for HPDE.
With Fuchs being made again, but NOT in 6x16, my plan was:
1. Front - 7x16 - 205 / 55 / R16
2. Rear - 8x16 - 225 / 50 / R16
My thought was running the same exact tire would be good for consistency. Any issues with running 7" in the front and 8" in the rear? Any issues with those tire sizes on those size rims? I do not believe so.
My car already has the fender lips rolled.

I run exactly the same setup on my '86 targa without issue -- one thought, if you're doing this for HPDE (track-centric), you might want to also consider going with 7x15 and 8x15 instead -- tire size is limiting, but there are a fair number of track/sporting options available for these wheels (e.g. yokohama advan ao52 in 205/50-15 and 225/50-15). Added benefit is that the smaller diameter of the 15" combo will shorten your gearing and give you a virtual boost in torque/power. You can also swap back between your current 16" set and the 15" set I'm suggesting
