Dave:
For track, there are several soft compound DOT tires in 245/45-16, and some in 255/50-16. Those all work on 8" rear wheels.
the 255/50 are taller, and not as crisp.
There are also Kumho 710s in 265/45-16, and Hoosier R-6 or A6 in 275/45-16, but those are specified for 8.5" minimum.
While you might be able to squeeze them on an 8" rim, it would probably wear funny.
Fronts typically are 225/50-16 on the 7", although you can find some 215/45-16 tires. Probably the most popular setup,
and the one with the most tire choices would be the 245/45-16 rear and 225/50-16 front.
HTH.
Does this mean Jeffrey's project is running???
