I've run 1/4" on a low-10s drag car without issue, and a couple times on street cars, mostly for brake/wheel fitment.
Many years back, of all things, I had a Volvo 245 Turbo wagon; unbreakable drivetrain and very good brakes, and I liked to hurl it into corners.
Mounted a set of later FWD 850R wheels on it using spacers of about 1.250" and never had an issue.
That said, I considered it a disposable car and a worthwhile experiment.
