Will it fit?
Don't think so. You would need to go with coilovers to get additional inside clearance but it is going to poke out anyway.

Best tyre to fit bearing in mind that I'd like minimum wheelgap and MIGHT lower it a little to fix that issue.
It is too much wheel.
You are at the point of diminishing returns. i.e. you are not gaining anything by going to 10" versus 9" except adding weight. You can fit the biggest tire on a 9" wheel just as much as you can on a 10".

Not sure what you mean by it going off on you, but adding extra weight will surely affect handling.

I would recommend going to a staggered setup so you can maximize the looks if that is what you're going for. Something like a 8.5F/9.5R will fit nicely.
