These wheels are actually available now in 17", which will give you a better selection of tires. Hoosier has a 325 X 45X17 that would probably last longer.
Depends on the track but should last maybe 3 track days at Lime Rock. These tires are 26.5 X 8-15 and 26.5 X 10-15. $185 and $195 before hand cutting. NLA with white letters. They come with yellow letters now...
Those meatballs are static cling, a set I got from:

He made a mistake as the set was supposed to be 2 smaller (10") roundels and 1 big one for the hood (12"). He sent 2 big ones, which actually worked beter for me. The cut piece on the door held up pretty well. I applied them first, then cut with a fresh Xacto blade. Cut flush with the front fender lip, then wrap the extra material around the door lip with a heat gun (carefully)
