These fit fine 7 and 8 87/88 951 flatdish with 205 and 225 tires. Thes are 52.3 mm offset. NO tire rub no issues. Looks like a 245 might fit the rear and a 225 fit the front on these rims.
Just some trial fit up notes:
49mm offset bbs 7 and 8 rims
205 55 on the 7
245 45 on the 8
The 7 fit fine on the front, could go to a 225 from the look of it, might stick out a little. Makes me think shifting back to a 55mm plus will help tuck it in, only clearance issue that might arise is the strut tower spring diameter.
The 8 on the front fit fine on the inside but stuck out on the front and if the car was lowered and cornered real hard would rub . It looks strange too.
245 on the rear I think would be fine on these rims. If car was lowered the spacer would need to be shaved nearly in half and go with steel lugs (remember this style rim has a center cover).
I think if the suspension was stiff enough a 9 with a 255 would fit.
The parking brake cable needs to be pulled back. On a track car you would eliminate this item and use a hydrualic parking brake. The are two metal points that should be removed, I think without any problems, this can be done on the track car for sure.
Just some notes.
