17x9+35 fn01rc's is what i have...i don't think there is a good RPF1 offset for 17x9, +22 would need spacers and i'm not sure about the +45

17x9. Great balance of contact patch, weight, tire size availiability and cost, gearing, accel/deceleration, and even looks.

I have 18x9.5 with 265/35 and although I enjoy them very much, I disagree that they are the best for all the uses mentioned.

Cyber evo Japan runs 265, it has 600hp that runs under a minute in Tsukuba circuit. Any of your evo here that runs 265 tires perform like Cyber evo? there are other ways to improve handling on the track, I see some even run 275 width here....

You sure about that 265 width on Cyber Evo?
Last time i checked they are running the AME Tracer TM-02 in 18×10.5 +10 on it. Seems weird to put a 265 on that....

The Cyber Evo definitely doesn't run 265s. My mechanic actually worked on the car. It runs 295/30R18s on 18 x 10.5 + 22 AME TM-02s.

265 is the maximum you want to go for the street. Spacers, guard rolling and fender pushing will be required.

The EVO rear well is limited to approx 17x9 or 18x9 +35 to +38

A great wheel to try is the 18x8.5 +38 EVO 10 wheel. Fits perfectly
