Default Few questions on exactly how much i can widen...

I want to know how i can measure the correct way to find out exactly HOW MUCH i can widen my wheels? They are 18x8 and i want them wider but am unsure as they seem to sit kinda deep in the wheel well. I am correct by thinking that widening them will add all to the inside so the edge of the wheel so the wheel wont stick out any farther than now correct? or am i wrong here? I would really like to widen them to a 10 at lease or a 10.5 but am unsure that if the widening wont bring my wheels out a little, that i wont have enough room in there and they will rub. I do not want to run spacers. Can someone help me here. Jsut need to know when widened, what the wheel does as far as sticking out at all and how i can measure best to find out how far i can widen. With BFH, LCA relo brackets and Adj PHR, i want to put a 315 BFG DR back there. Thanks. If you need any pics, let me know
