Default 16" compomotive mo's

After much thought about what wheels to get for my project i have had a change of thought and settled on the idea of a set of 16" compomotive mo's but im unsure what size wheels and tires i will require?. First off im running a full koni setup and have done a cossy rear disk conversion. I have been looking around but cant realy find what sizes i need so i have no rubbing or clearance issues. Can anyone put me on the right track? As far as i can find out i should be looking for somthing around
7Jx 16" alloys with an offset of 35mm with 205 40R 16 rubber. I could be totaly wrong so pease could someone in the know help me out

I ran 7.5x16 ET35 with 205/45/16

Rear disc conversion and Eibach springs with a 25mm drop.

The rears would rub on the top of the back bumper where it wraps round into the arch, but only on really severe compressions or when fully loaded.
