just strap a coke can to your overflow and don't have any loose items in vehicle. Helmet would also help.

I've never really fully understood what an overflow tank is. Is that the nozzle coming out of your coolant header tank? (not the ones that go into the radiator)
Mine has never had anything attached to it but they still let me run?

You just need to pull the hose up and run it into a coke bottle that is strapped in. It's only there to catch coolant so it dosent end up on the track. I wouldn't mind going to Calder for a run, but I need two new tyres for the back first.

You can go wider than that, I have a 245 under the back and I've heard of people having wider than that again.

Also depends on how low your car is. In order to fit 255's on the rear of my ED with superlows, i had to have the gaurds lipped. But if your car is a 4wd, you shouldn't have any problems.
