Search.
Find a combination that is being used by someone else and go with that.
If all you can find is the mm of a tire, go to the tire manufacturers' web page and look at the 'Recommended Tire Size' for each rim- it will give you a range- ie. 8 inch rim -225->245.
Don't forget the ever-important and often overlooked by beginners- OFFSET.
Search.

Here's something that might help, it'll show you any combination of wheel and tire.

You'll have better luck if you goto the Suspension/Wheels/Tires/Brakes section of the forum and ask there. someone knowledgeable will be able to answer you, also post the tire you will be running on that size rim as the tire is very much so a part of whether there will be rubbing or not.

I don't think that offset will work with your car, you should be looking at +38 to +45 for that rim size for the front or rear, how much is your car lowered?
