Staggered 19s are not optimal for what you're trying to do but I'd be lying if I said I've never made compromises to save a few bucks. Either way it's your car and your money, so do what you want. The question you asked was "would you run these wheels on track?" and my answer is no.

Square 235s work, square 245s also work if you have enough front camber and the right offset. 245s definitely work in back.
I appreciate the input. If i had more financial resources and went more often, I would dedicate more money and go with apex but it really comes down to I dont. I have bigger obligations to spend money on and save for (currently a house), so i am looking at this as a golden opportunity to save a bit of money, have less worries at the track, and not cook a set of $2k tires much faster in the process.
