I need help!
I am looking for new track wheels. I like the rpf1 and rp03 from enkie. But the offsets available are not ideal. I would like 17" wheels; 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear. Everyone here recommends 35/38 for the front and 45 for the rear. Help. Please.

What brakes are you running? If they're aftermarket you should get a template from the manufacturer to test fit for spoke clearance, or check with the vendor for fitment recommendations.
For reference, I'm running 17 x 9" +35 (5Zigens) with 275/40's all around for track wheels - no interference issues at all. Your front 8.5" +35 shouldn't be a problem but I can't comment on the rears.

How wide do you want to go on the tires? I know that you can fit 285s in the front and 315s in the rear with no fender mods by running an 18"x9.5-10" +30 wheel all around. You don't want that wide of tires unless you have some good power to back it up though.
