914 Widebody Track Tire Advice

I picked up a new track toy recently. 3.0L, Sheridan body. I got it on the track once while home on leave. I love it. 3rd Pcar (944, 3.2 911), 1st 914. My dad always raved about his 72 914-6 that he bought new. The previous owner of this car ran Khumo V710 265/45R16 on 16x10 wheels. He said they were a good compromise of grip, price and longevity. I just ordered some of the last V710 and W710s in the US. Khumo says they aren't bringing anymore into the country in the near future. After I run through this set, I'll need to switch to another tire.

R6s come in 275/45R16. I really don't want to go down the $500/tire slicks yet.

I'm still only doing DEs. Not wanting to buy 8 new rims to go to 17in, what do guys running similar setups recommend?

I'm in the middle east right now, but I'll be back in a month and will be able measure clearances. I'm just looking for some quick advice.
