I was hoping the information already existed, because it will be the same for any wheel width at the stock tire diameter.
I would tinker, which I said I will do if the information doesn't exist, but I will tinker before I buy things, because custom offset 2-piece wheels are expensive.

Again you're way overthinking this. You're not going from some scene-kid "stance-bro" fitment (I hate that word, by the way). You're going EXTREMELY mild and conservative. It's subjective because you need to figure out HOW you want your wheels to fit before you go and order some spec and it comes out not what you were wanting. YOU need to determine your ride height, your alignment specs, not some obscure or arbitrary reasoning. YOU need to go outside to your car, measure things, find out what other 17x7 wheels and their fitments you like, find out what offset they are running then tweak to your own preference. It's really not that hard.
FWIW, stock wheels are what? 17x7 +45? (or something in the mid-high 40s). An extremely common set up is 18x9.5 +38 all around. That is 25mm less inner clearance, but the outside edge is 39mm further out. Look how much room you have...
