Should be fine with those offsets if you're having a bit of stretch

Not sure about the et30 on the rear mate, usually around et15 is required to avoid contact on the inside. If you are lowered you may need to roll the arches. I've got 9j rears at et13, I'm lowered 60mm on the back and my arches are rolled but not overly. I could do with tightening them up a bit more if I'm honest as it catches with someone in the back or accelerate flat out up hills etc.

Regards to tyres, I run a 205 45 16 on the 8j's and 215 40 16 on the 9's. depends what you want them to look like!
