The offset and width (the offset u can use will change with wider wheels) of the wheel is more to do with weather they clear the inner arch and the suspension strut....
If they will clear 4-pots is more to do with the design of the wheels, the first set of wheels i bought for my classic (5 spokes) were the correct offset for the car but didn't clear the 4-pots due to the spoke design so had to use a 3mm spacer
If u run Brembo's then u have an even more limited wheel choice to clear the calipers...

For standard width 7.5 the ET is 45 - 50.
ET 50 will clear pretty much every caliper including Porsche GT3 calipers with room to spare.

For the money I'd go for brembo's personally, haven't look for a while but the Godspeed kit wasn't cheap...

If u mean the 335mm brake kit that uses the standard 4pots, I think that kit runs a wider disc and caliper has spacers to suit the disc making the caliper wider so u will have less clearance than with the standard setup...

The 335mm kit will work better than the STi brembo's , and as you have just had your calipers reconditioned Ian , they will work perfect with it.
I can supply you our 335mm kit for £550 , you can now have the new bluestuff pads with them as I had a batch made up
Going onto the original question , its the spoke design that will give more problems than the ET , if you buy a wheel with spokes that go in slightly the further from the hub the spokes get , then they could cause clearance problems , standard RB5 , P1 , 2001 onwards WRX wheels all clear my 335mm kit , we haven't seen many wheels that don't fit over them

I had my Advans powder coated at Castle Coatings and the finish is good but the paint chips easily. From what I have read alloy metals after shot blasting require baking up to 280 degrees prior to powder coating, to stop the metal breathing causing a brittle paint finish. I'd check to see if they bake the alloys prior to powder coating as mine aren't quite right.
