Question Another will it fit thread

Ok before getting flammed I swear I used the search button, I swear. Anyways lookingin a set of 17" MSR 045 wheels. My question is they are a 40 offset and I'm lowered on Tein springs. Thinking of putting 215/45/17 on them to complete it all. Sorry for asking guys but a quick answer would be great.

I'd consider running spacers, just for the sake at least it will probably look like *** with skinny tires like that sitting so far inward and being tall wheels.

I am running 19x9.5 295/35/19's at a 38 offset and needed a 25mm spacer to clear

stock wheels on my TII are 16x7 +40.

I'm running 225/50/16s and need a 5mm spacer.

you might clear, especially if you're on stock struts (not coilovers)

they are going to sit pretty far in though.

Alot of the wheel websites I'm looking at keep recommending a 40 offset so can they really be that bad?
