Agreed, I wouldn't want to run any lower than ET45 on the front but I always felt with my old Autecs, another 5mm (ET40) would be perfect.I run 21mm spacers all round on Speedlines (making them 17x7.5 ET47) with 225/45/17 tyres and I get no rubbing (running stock camber, just on Eibach springs, so they will camber naturally a little bit), I wouldn't want to run more spacing on front, but I could go 4-5mm more on rear.
Spot on. Rear spacing can be adjusted at a later date with a 5mm spacer, if you feel it needs it.So what you are saying is for the Bola B10 wheels I would want to be running
Size - 17x7.5
PCD - 5x108.0
Offset - ET45

From my own experience I'd say ET40 would be your absolute maximum. I'm running a 17x8 ET42 and it's mega close to the arches with 225/45/17 NS2R tyres. I'm only lowered about 15mm with no rubbing yet but it's been a bit too cold to make progress on semi slicks!
Your wheels actually poke out 4.3mm more than a 17x7.5 ET40.
What wheels are you running out of curiosity?
Et40 on an 8j is keen. I’d be very surprised if your bumper edge doesn’t get some scrubbing
