The wheels will not fit, you will need a spacer (probably about 20-25mm) for them to fit, and then you may stick out and rub the fender.

Yea, the stock offset is 40, but I dont think youll be able to fit a 8.5" wheel up there with the stock offset.

As stated above no go. The fronts would be 3/4" closer than the stock turbo wheels. If you got a 3/4" spacer, then the wheels would move 1 1/2" closer to the fender.
