Best fuchs width for toyo r888/ra1?

Hi guys. I like to take my cars to hpde and the odd autocross. I have an 84 911 on the way with the typical tasteful engine/suspension upgrades. I have a new set of bridgestone re-11a's 205/55/16 and 225/50/16 rears on 6 and 7 fuchs for the street/track.

I also have a set of 225/50/16 and 245/45/16 ra1's from the previous owner that he used for hpde/autocross on the 6/7 fuchs. Both widths are minimum factory advised widths, but the owner said they work fine.

I wanted 7/8x16, but they are pricy for a track tire, and street tire choice is non-existent for those sizes in canada.

In the end i am leaning for a second set of 6/7 fuchs. Anyone else run r comp toyos 225/245 on these? Is there too much squirm? Is the saved weight worth it compared to wider tires?

Not interested in 15's as i can't get the desired rear widths in that size.
