You guys are forgetting that suspension and tires make a difference here. While those street tires are very good for street tires, they are not in the same league as Hoosiers. It also seems that the west coast track guys are running significantly stiffer setups(less compression) than us on this side(generally cooler temps, bumpy tracks, etc). Lastly, there is the element of how hard does a driver push his car.

I've got a wheel off the ground on street tires, yet still no rub front or rear.

Centering rings designed to fit on the rear axle will not fit if you try to use them on the front axle. You might get the wheel on and the lug nuts tight, but the wheel will not be seated properly and there's a good chance that the lug nuts will loosen up or the studs will break. Maybe if the center hole in the wheel is very deep, the ring will get shoved deep enough that it won't interfere with the fit.
You don't need the centering rings, but they do make it easier to mount the wheel. If you do use centering rings, you should use metal instead of plastic.
