damn those are probably the best lookin fake LD-1's i've seen yet. good choice... even though they're fake!

and i think you'll be fine with that setup. i don't think there should be problems.

Mine are 18 x 7,5 with a 44 offset... you can't fit a credit card between the wheel and the front calipers, but it doesn't rub.

I put 225 35 18's on them, but I'm pretty sure by looking at how much room is left that 40s will still fit.

Just an opinion...

IMO -- Somewhere around +48 - +52 offset is optimal. I'd bet 225s would fit without a problem. If you got some really fat 235s (like S-03s) and loaded the car up -- who knows...

They'll fit, if anything all you would have to do is trim the plastic bumper tab, where it meets the rear fenders...
