What offset/ET for fims on hawkeye WRX?

There's a set of wheels I want with an offset of 8 x 19 (my show wheels) with ET40.

What is the correct ET that a wrx hawkeye should run?

ET40 looks a bit on the low side to me:

It's the width of the wheels which is mostly going to be the deciding factor on whether you get rub or not. For 8" you'll want an ET around 48 or 50.
