de-bolting arches or using a sledgehammer is a perfectly viable option

My wheels are ET43, it's down 40 at the moment but I put a load of stuff in the boot to see what it'd be like -60 the other day and there was a good finger's worth of clearance.

Your wheels sit 6mm further out than mine, that's why.

is it not, the higher the number then the less they stick out

so if i were to put a 10mm spacer (for example) my wheels would then be ET39 and stick further out

correct

tyre size is usually a big factor a lot of people over look. For example a 195/45 R16 Pirelli p-zero is a lot bigger than a 195/45 R16 Yoko A539. The pirelli has a much squarer profile with excellent rim protection, whereas the A539 has a more sloping sidewall, giving better clearence on the arches but less rim protection (snigger)

i had 16's down -55 and a et45 offset rubbed like a cnut..... played around with bumpstops and this helped....

the tyres you use make a big difference...
