Default will this set work for the track (rubbing worry)?

I just accquire a set of Enkei RP1 from another member here...the rims size are 17x7.5 +48 front and 17x8 +45 rear, it came with 215/45 front and 245/40 rear with street tires and it will not rub on the street.

I am planing to use them on the track with Kumho V700 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear otherwise I have to go for more expensive A048 with 215/45/17 and 245/40/17, do you think that I will have any rubbing issue on the track with that offset?...the suspension is stock and I will also be running comptech front bar and stock rear bar for now.

I want to run RA1 but there aren't any size that I think will work with this particular set of rims.

What do you guys think?...Thank in advance

Stock height you should be fine. What alignment specs are you running? With an aggressive setup (that would be ideal for the tires) you definitely won't have an issue.

As far as alignment goes, I am hoping that I can get the camber close to -2 up front and close to -2.5 on the back...what do you think about the tires...stick with A048 in 215/45/17 and 245/40/17 or the Kumho V700 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear (rubbing issue concern on the 225 front V700)?...and again this is on the 17x7.5 +48 front and 17x8 +45 rear...

Eventually I will try 245 (17x9) all arond with no rear bar but for now I think I will stick with the 17x7.5 +48 front and 17x8 +45 rear combo.

V700- Ecsta or Victoracer (the first is directional other is asymetrical)?

^I don't know if it really matters between the two but the victoracer wasn't noticeably made obsolete when the Ecsta came out.

If you're running the comptech bar full stiff you could probably use the extra width in the front from the kumho but the A048 might just stick better. I say if it's less than 25% price difference go for the Advans (bling factor).
