Default STI guys: Different treadwear, same tires between front and rear: Any DCCD problems?

I might run a 235/40/17 Hankook Ventus K102 on the 17" x 8" 5Zigen FN01RC et35 5 x 100 because I might have issues with pinks/RE070s and my fenders. I only have 1" clearance from the top of the RE070 and bottom of fender lip now.

The Hankooks that i am going to put on will come off wheels that used to be on a BMW and the previous owner of the wheels didn't rotate tires for a while. THus, two tires are worn on the inners much more with 2-3/32" tread (rears on the BMW) and the other two have 5-6/32" with even tread all around (fronts on the BMW). IF I run these tires solely for autox and not street/highway, will the 6 or so weekend 1 minute runs do any damage to the DCCD over the course of the summer?

This option tire on the et35 FN01RC will give me 1.5" increased total track compared to the RE070s on the BBS and almost 8 mm increased clearance to the fender and of course shorter gearing. But of course these tires just can't grip like the RE070s and putting the RE70s on the et35 FN01RC would give me just so much grip and even more lateral track then the Ventus (1.8" more total tread width with the RE070s over the Ventus on the same 8" wheel with more grip and much stronger sidewalls)!
