Default alloy wheels swap

Looking to swap !!
My XXR 572 18x8.75 ET35
5x114.3-5x100 I believe
Currently fitted to my 2005 hawkeye sti the alloys will need 2 x tyres and the 2 good ones are budgets.
Alloys have no curbing but do have some slight paint flaking but not that bad.
I'm after something 18" but with a standard or not so aggressive offset as the rears catch the arches. Don't want any alloys that need a refurbishment

what size tyres are you running? Do they rub constantly? I'm after a set of these I have 245 tyres on at min and slight rub on rear ocasionaly would 245 be a no no on these wheels?

I'm really not sure on size sorry and I can't look at the moment because the car is in the garage. They only rub when cornering fast on roundabouts or going over a lump in the road. But it's really knackered my rear tyres.

I have these wheels with 225 tyres and they rubbed until I fitted camber bolts & rolled the arches, so no chance with 245 unless you roll the arches lots or run stupid camber.

I can tell you that my tyres are slightly stretched and still rub!
