Tire choice...
I just ordered a set of Rota Grids in 18x9.5 +20. Now I am wondering about tire fitment choices. I figure a little fender work in the rear is required. What about tire sizes?? 245 or 255 seems to be the consensus but any feedback would be helpful. Thank you!

Your biggest battle is getting the +20 to fit correctly w/out rub & w/out adding out of spec camber. This set-up will need the full rear fender treatment (roll, pull, bumper bolt & other tricks)

Just as an update, I got my Enkei 18 x 9.5 +38s put on with 245/35 tires!
+20 mm spacers with extended bolts up front, none in the back.
Car is lowered on Tein springs
Minor rub on full lock turning but that's it.
I will need wider front fenders or the fender mod like MinusPrevious said I would haha

Quick comment on the question of running different width rims. Dont do it
One of the best fit-ups IMO is the 17x9.5 +38 w/a 20mm spacer up front
This thread has that example

I really like RPF1's except for the spacer requirement. Dont think many run the +45's

There are some good choices of wheels that dont need spacers (i.e. Volk, Advan, Rota, Wedsports, 5Zigs)
You will have to search around & see what you like & fits your price point.
At one time I was anti wheel spacers but today I would run the RPF1's

16" rpf1 fitment?
Anyone know if 16" rpf1s +35 or +43 will clear the calipers with or without spacers? Looking for a good 16" wheel for the track. Any suggestions??

The searching I did shows all high offset XXR's will need a spacer. The wheel noted by you is very, very conservative in width & offset. Personally would rather see a more aggressive choice
Heres a search string which may give you some ideas:
