For the track, your best bet is using the largest diameter tire you can.
Also, you're better off with a set of track tires on the rims.... like a nice set of Hoosiers :-) (the difference is night and day when using a basic track tire like a Hoosier to the best true street tire money can buy... the difference is that big. You'd be amazed.)
The 17" cup wheels are plenty strong for the track. I've got a pair of almost brand new, Hoosiers with only 3 laps on them.... They are 275/17". This is the tire you want to run on the track. I'd sell them for $375 + shipping. Then you'd put on a set of 225/17 matching hoosiers on the front, and you'd be shocked at the difference. Seriously.... the S02's suck compared to a real set of track tires.

I'd certainly sell them to anybody that wants to pay for them, but I feel that it's in the buyers best intersted to use the correct offset wheel.
