Hmmmmm. The differences are not massive, it depends which direction the calipers are fouling.
If it's sideways in/out then as Adrian has said, spacers would resolve that, especially for the fronts which are narrower so tighter.
(Remember ET is in mm, so we're talking small differences here.)

I'd be worrying that it's the shape of the dish of the wheels that is the problem and that's potentially not fixable if it's curving in on the caliper without using excessive spacers. The 10J's shouldn't be anywhere near the calipers if they really are ET45.
