Unless you have some serious power, 17x8 with a 215 or 225 sticky tire is PLENTY for track use. The RPF1's in 17x8 +45 will clear a BBK (not sure about +35 though). We are running 215 NT01's on a 17 x 7.5 which has tons of grip at our power levels (191whp/156tq) and is a light weight setup.

However, autocross setups seems to prefer a wider contact patch for low speed grip.
