Not really an issue for AX events because you don't have sustained hi G corners leading to a deep braking zone. Tracks like AAA Speedway Fontana were famous for taking out 986/996 motors due to the...

I ran 255/255 square for a year on stock struts and 8.5/17" wheels. They will fit. If you roll the fenders you can mount 285/285 square.
