so as close to standard as possible mate which is 38 I believe, I'd look for around et 33-38 to be on the safe side, could probably go lower offset than that without problems as many people do, but that depends on how low your car is on the coilies.
and you won't really want anything wider than 7j, also the narrower your wheel the lower the offset you'll be able to get away with
e.g a 7j et38 wheel will stick out the same as a 6j et25
what tyre size to go for depends on the width of the wheel, look you want and if you want the rolling radius to be the same as standard (so your speedo etc stays the same)
this may be of help:

Car had original 15"s on it running 195/60/15, 6jx15 ET35. And they fit no prob on full lock and no scuffing any arches because they sat back into the wheel well a fair bit, running stock suspension.
