The car will be daily driven and taken to a decent number of track days throughout the year, hoping to do at least one a month for this season. The wheels are 17x8 +35, and I'm currently debating between 225/45 and 235/40 ZII*. I prefer the meatier/wider tire with the 235, but in a discussion with a US rep from the company he mentioned that with the +35 offset I may have fitment issues with a 235, I imagine he was referring to rubbing issues, and have to run a 225 or 215. The car will be lowered around 1" on coilovers, and I will also have camber plates and new LCAs installed at the same time. Currently thinking of running between -2 to -2.5 camber in the front and -1.5 to -2 in the rear.
From folks with similar sized wheels out there who daily and track, would you expect there to really be any issues running a 235/40 tire? What benefits and drawbacks might there be to either size?

Which wheels? I personally run the RPF1's in a 17x8 with 245/40 Z2's (3 sets so far) on bone stock suspension with no rubbing at all, track, AX, or street. That setup has been absolutely fantastic all year long since the car is a daily and I'm too lazy to swap wheels.
From what I've heard, coilovers actually give you more clearance. Guys with 255's have needed to go CO for fitment.
