There are multiple versatile tires that can be used to drive to the track and on the track
if using 7 & 8 205/50 and 225/50 or 225/45 whether in 15 or 16 is the way to go, The shorter the tire the more push gets translated to speed and the easier the fit and the lower for better handling the car will be.
when I used 16 205/55 on 7 was tight at the lip when the car is lowered 245/45 on 9 performs considerably better than 225/50 on 98 or 245/45 on 8. But I don't care for the 205/245 balance.
For the street, das macht nichts, but on track 225/45 on 8 and 245/40 on 9.5 is the way to go 15 is going to be way more fun than 16, but again you need expensive aftermarket wheels to get the wheel width & o/s that is needed.
For a budget build I guess 7 & 8 x16 Fuchs are an ok way to go, 205/50 & 225/45 make for better performance that 205/55 & 225/50, You wouldn't be unhappy w/ 7 ( x16 205/50 & 245/45 either you would just need to do something else to dial out the inherent push .
