Yes, once you are lowered it will not poke out as much and you will be close to flush. I would honestly look for a lower offset wheel for the fronts something close to your offset in the rear.

Thanks heaps for the response mate, greatly appreciated.
I had picked 45-47 for the front after seeing 18x8.75 ET35 and 18x9.5 ET40s on the front of some other cars here. Both of these had more poke than I was after, even after lowering / camber.
I thought ET45 on a 9” front would be ok once lowered as this is still further from the strut than the 18x9.5 ET40 (and similar to an 18x9.5 ET38 which seems quite common), but offers quite a bit less poke. Many of the 18x9.5 ET38/40 listed in the meaty tyres thread have 255/265s fitted to the front, so I assumed I’d be ok with a 245/35.
Sounds like I might need to do a bit more research based on the above - I’ll ditch the ET47 option at least. My other option is to fit 8.5s to the front, but I’d really prefer not to stagger.
