I've used Japan Racing calculator (https://jr-wheels.com/et-calculator), that gives a visual indication on how much poke you get.
Combine that tool with rim specs you can find from members here and you can get yourself an idea how it may fit.

FWIW, I'm running 8-wide with ET44, with no rubbing issue. I wouldn't be as confident with a 10-wide ET40 though

I've been using this website

Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets

Tire Tech Information - The Wheel Fitment, Tyre Stretch, Rolling Radius and Speedometer Error Calculator. Play with specs, try different settings, compare results

www.wheel-size.com

It's good because you can customize the guard clearances, but I can't find the values for my car on the internet, so not sure how accurate it is for visual.

From asking around, it seems a 10 wide needs rear control arm upgrades. A 9 you may only need to roll guards. So for the sake of a rim face, it's becoming quite a costly endeavour. I might just have to have a cry and get over it.

Wow, that really puts it in perspective. That's a bit nuts!

18x8 ET45 Looks great on stock suspension. What would the recommended tire size be for that, 225/45?

That's the factory tire size for 18", so yeah, recommended

(that's also what I got on my 18x8 ET44, works just fine )

Wheels look good mate. I've been trying to find something nice. Am thinking of a set of WRX STi wheels. 245/40-18.
I do like the look of them.

I have a set in mine, can recommend

Found these, kinda similar to sti style, niche gamma m224, 18 x8 offset 40, fill the gaurds nicely..

Nice, what size rubber you running on them?

Standard 225 /45 R18, think I'll replace with the same, need the little extra cushion....
