Unfortunately, it's not all about the offset, but the actual design of the wheel itself.

I suggest a search for Brembo's or variant there of which will bring up all sorts of threads that may help your decision.

You didn't mention if you wish to stay with oe wheels or aftermarket but the same applies whatever you do

I've just looked at your 'view my scooby', so it seems you are looking for aftermarket wheels.

Yes aftermarket ,i've seen a set of Inovit Redlines in gunmetal with a ET45 at a really good price - i've got them in Gold at the moment but the weathers rubbish so i've can't get out to take one off and check the offset on it so thought i would ask on here .
