American guys always think that bigger tires are always better, but it's not always right.

Good sticky and narrow tires like Toyo R888 will give you enough grip and very good steering response, and VERY predictable handling.

If you get wider and wider tires grip doesnt grow up...
and yes, if you leave the standard suspension setup you will get big understeer on tracks...

I'd go with standard 18s for the track, 225/235 front and 245/255/265 rear
the problem is that there are not many track tires in this size range

now the question is, there are some cheap 18x8 and 18x9 wheels?
