If I were to buy tires from this list for track what should I get?

Pilot Powers. Are you able to run a 150? I would start at 30 psi.

I think 140 is max for stock rim

You can run a 150, racers have been doing it for years. May not be best for the street due to the pointy profile from the narrower wheel.
