Default Tire Size & Wheel Width for Turbo EG Hatch With 16in Wheels?

Yes, I've already tried searching but there's so many variables here that it's hard to find the exact information I'm looking for.

These wheels will go on a turbo EG Hatch pushing about 475-500WHP. I'm planning on using CCW LM16 3-piece wheels, 16in. Ideally I'd like to fit at least 225 tires on the front and 205 offset on the rear with maximum contact patch. The car will only be slightly lowered on ground control/koni yellows, and both the front and rear fenders will be rolled/pulled.

I'm not entirely sure what offset or width I should be using on the wheels yet. From what I've seen, most people seem to use 32-38mm offsets. I'm thinking a width somewhere between 7.5->8.5 is what I'm looking for.

If anyone has any advice for high power 5th gens I'd appreciate it. Also any photos of combinations like this would be great.

Here's an EK running 245/35/16 on 16x8.5 wheels, but I'm not sure if this would also be possible on an EG or what his offset is: Function over Form EK Hatch

The ultimate goal here is traction.
