Obviously you need appropriate clearance for track use, and for the possible event that you end up on the run off area at full steering lock. If you get the ET45 wheels it wouldn't have enough clearance for the coilovers. ET45 is very marginal clearance for suspension components, so its possible to have issues. With ET38 you can still have trouble with the coilover spring perch, but with the right spring specs it should be possible to make it fit. In the worst case it could require a 3mm spacer, but its not too bad.

Rear wheels will need offset of around ET54 to ET58. Assuming you use max negative camber on the rear.
I didnt know clearance was that limited.
Thanks for the info.
