At that width I'd expect them to stick out of the arches!

These, fitted to my old classic, are 7x17 et35, pretty much as wide as you can be without adding arch extensions/flaring

I'd say so. Newages can take 9s but they have much more arch to play with.

I was toying with going wider on that car and worked out I could squeeze 8s on with a stretched tyre but that was pushing it tbh! I decided not to in the end.

Same car with 7.5x18 et49

I'd be sticking to et40-45 if it were me. I certainly wouldn't go below et35 at the very most.
