Question 16x8 +42 16x9 +40 on an FC?

Looking at a set of BBS RS for my car, would those fit? I'm not worried about them being 16 obviously, but kinda worried about the offset, I don't know too much about wheel offsets so I thought I'd ask here since last time I had a question about wheels, you guys were pretty helpful, thanks in advance!

Front 16x8 42mm will need a 10mm spacer...
Rear 16x9 40mm will fit, but you might want to run a 5-10mm spacer to bring it closer to the fender.

i actually have 16" rs's. i run 16x7.5 forgot the offset, either +42 or +38. rears are 16x8.5 +50 with a 25mm spacer. i would have preferred a 20mm spacer but thats what i got. i didn't need a spacer in the front. 225/50's BS RE-01R all around. had a good amount of clearance in the fronts but was almost touching in the rear without the spacer. there was about a paper thin space from tire to trailing arms.
i would think the 16x9's will definitely fit but would look proper with a small spacer. the front's will stick out. mine are flush without any spacers.

+38 up to +42 offsets will fit just right but spacers will be an option if you want that perfect look for your ride.
