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.
If buying dedicated track wheels then 15 is the way to go
ideally 8ET25-30 front and 9ET14-16 or better 9.5ET19 rear
tires 225/45 & 245/40

If wedded to Fuchs then 7ET23.3 & 8 ET10.6 x15 w/ 205/50 & 225/45

The lower energy cost of the 15s is really nice on a track
