"I tired" pun intended, lol.

Those are pretty conservative offsets, depends on tire size and amount of drop.

Front you can go 235/30 and rears you will need to shave and you can run 265 or 275/25.

Depends on how "low" you are on the Megans. 235/35 and 275/30 or 235/30 and 275/25 would be the way to go. Those offsets are conservative so they'll be fine.

You are gonna rub at the rears if you dont shave them. Maybe you can get away with 255/25.

i have the same widths and offsets and am on megan lp's tucking a little tire and have 245/35 front and 275/35 rear. i am going for a sporty look and not super low like alot of the other peeps on here. so it all depends on how low you really wanna go. oh and i have shaved rear and roller front fenders.
