I am running a 205/245 combo on my track setup. They are 15/16 rotas with Toyo RA1's. Granted they are different tires and different wheels, buy I have no fitment issues.

Since the RE760's should have a softer carcass than the stock Lotus tires, they should require a bit more inflation pressure than the OE recommendation. I would say bump them up 2-3 psi.
