If you want to run rubbers on a pan car your best option is a set of BSR capped tyres http://johnsbsrracing.com/cap-tires

If you want to run touring car tyres you will have to find someone to machine up the adapters for you for the rears and you will have to modify Tamiya F103GT front hubs and axles to fit them on the front. The problem of using touring car tyres is that you have a much smaller contact patch which is fine for 4wd, but putting all the power of a rwd pan chassis without the extra weight of a touring car to help isn't going to work.

Tamiya made the F103GT chassis to use touring car tyres on it, generally to get them to grip meant finding the softest, widest rear tyres you could and even then they were very tricky to drive with any serious power.
