with a 40 mm offset you will need a spacer for the front, the rear will fit

try to find some wheels with +27 or somewhere around +20. spacers can be bought on ebay for cheap, but you might have some problems with the length of the studs.

i believe a 15x7 with 0 offset should fit fine.

the bore refers to the hole in the middle of the wheel that the lug nut go around.
I got rid of the wheel bolts and went with thread in studs and lug nuts. some people don't like doing that, they say the studs loosen up. but I have never had a problem with it and I change my wheels alot from street to rain to race tires/wheels. just use lock tight red stud lock on them and they won't come out.

Depends on what sixe tire you are planning to run. An offset of 0 will stick out pretty far so if your car is lowered and/or if you have a high sidewall, it may rub on the fenders.

0 offset wil lstick out (maybe you can do fender flares to cover them up ) ...the konig rewinds i have on my FB have a 20mm offset and they sit flush
