Et30 offset with a 215 should be fine, aslong as your not using standard shocks, konis set to half way would be fine

215's would be a bit of stretch with 9" wheels.
I've got 245/35/17 on the rear of my 3 Door with 8x17 ET23
245/35/17 is a really good size for rear tyres on a 3 Door, i've seen offsets as low as ET15 on the rear but ET25 to ET30 would probably look good.

On a 9" that's what want, no lower than ET25 on that width unless you cut the metal away
