What are your front end camber settings and offset of your wheels? I have almost the exact same setup as you (RCE T2's, 235/45/17 RS3's on 17x9 +42 wheels, -2.5* front camber) and haven't had any issues with rubbing in either track or street driving.
Re. the thread topic, my track tires before these were 225/45/17 BFG Rivals on 17x8 wheels. 235/45 vs. 225/45... it's very hard to give a comparison without controlling for tire differences, but the 235 setup has a bit more grip in corners. Also a little softer, which is better for street driving, worse for track. Lastly don't forget the 235 setup will lengthen your gearing a little.
