The images below show an 18X9 ET42 with a 255/35-18 tire on the front of my car. The car has -2.6° front camber and a front drop of 1¼". I think they show that camber adjustment does make a significant difference in how much the wheel and tire stick out, especially at the top where poke can appear most noticeable.

As a fellow member of the 17x9et42 mafia, I can expand that this setup is common because (1) it also works on the E36M3, a car that has way more high end wheel options, (2) it fits a wide 255/40/17, which is one of the most common tire sizes for the extreme street tire category, and (3) you can rotate them in a square setup that's only a little pokey in both the front and the back.
Pictured: a little bit of poke 17x9et35-38 is doable, but there aren't many wheels out there in that spec. If you don't mind aggressive camber, lots of poke, stretched tires, and/or rolling the hell out of the fenders, you might even be able to run as low as a 17x9et20, but there might still be some rubbing.
