Speedlines are the perfect offset so you won't get any scrubbage

My old Corsa was -60mm on Gmax with Speedlines, see my garage for more pics...

It did rub occassionaly but only because I used a 5mm spacer on the rear (making it ET44) The centre cap on the Speedlines fouled the centre pin on the hub of the rear brake drum and wouldn't go on otherwise.

You can use 40 profile tyres as well, that will help matters.

A bit more yeah. Makes the diameter smaller than a standard 185/60/14 though, so you have no rub and the cars a bit quicker
