The rim width range for that tire is 8-9½", so your setup is not ideal.

My guess is that in terms of safety you'd be okay on the track. However, absolute performance will suffer as your tire's tread profile will be rounded as a result of the narrow wheel. If you had, say, a 9" wheel instead, the tread would then be much flatter, and you'd have noticeably more grip and stopping power.
