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.

for 225/50 x16 ans 245/45 x16 RA1 min wheel widths are 6 & 7.5 max are 8 & 9
to get the most performance from a tire you want the widest wheel that fits
Your goal is 8ET25-30 and 9ET12-15, the usual Fuchs 8ET23.3 from a 944 can be used though it's ET is less than optimal for easy fitment, the 930 Fuchs 9x16 is perfect.
If you can't swing those wheels try to get as close as you can.
