If you can make sure you get the hubcentric type adaptors (with rubber locator ring if possible)
With +40 offset rims 25mm rear and 20mm front spacers will get you to where the offset should be.
My mate runs 215/35/18's on all corners on his car so they can fit

here's a pic of mates' car. I think he gets occasional scrub on the front but the car doesn't have the guards rolled yet. back is fine without rolling the guards


OEM Carbon hoods very close to finished.

I'm pretty sure 215/35's front and rear. Front has coilovers and is lowered, rear has King spring "superlows"
