17x8 - ET35 or 45 how much tire?

Looking around trying to make up my mind.. first season I will be driving the R53 for autoX with dedicated wheelset...

I don't know which offset would be the better choice, et35 or 45 (looking at advanti storms) and then it comes to tires...

Can I go to 225/45 or is that too much, do I need to stay with 215/45.. or are there other options for STX?
