Nope...+40 is the stock offset, and those rims are wider than stock by 1.5". You will want to go with +38mm or maybe even less.

Listen to the Racer. I would suggest a +35 offset and do not run the 235/40's on a 7.5. You should run a 225/45/17 front and rear.

You will need to use spacers. You should run a 5mm spacer up front and a 15mm spacer in the rear. These should cost around $225.00 shipped. They are H&R hubcentric studded spacers. I don't know if they make that application. But that's the only way to make the car look decent with that fitment.

17,7.5 +40 front and +30 rear. I personally would not run a 7.5 on the car, or at least bigger in the rear. Ideally do 8's all around.

See ya, Rishie
