On a 8.5" front wheel, ET45 will be as close as you are going to get to the front strut without rubbing.

Your only option is to go with an 8" ET43+ rim with if you want to go max 10mm outer on stock front wheels so these wheels are not suitable for those looking not to fill the arches without rubbing issues.
