I am planning on tracking my car for the first time (have tracked previous cars). The front wheels are 17x8 on 215/40/17 hankook ventus tires. I know that this is considered a slightly 'stretched' fit. Is this a safety concern on the track?
I don't want to run 235 tires due to the rubbing issues and am too cheap/broke to purchase a set of dedicated track tires/rims at the moment. I found yokohoma s drives in 225/35/17. Would these tires on my 17x8 rim be a safer bet? Do the 215 on an 8" rim even present any safety issues?
Thanks in advance!
