if your car is dumped, i'd suggest getting your front and rear fenders shaved just to play it safe. if your car isn't that low, you should be cool running the 40 offset. also, what size tires are you using?

Actually I use to have a set of 16x7 45mm Sparco Viper Fangs and that thing was slammed, never had any problems. Will 5mm make that big of a difference. The tire size I would run is 205/40 16 if I buy the Spirits. I want to avoid having to shave my fender, I just want it to tuck

7" wide and 40 offset 16inch wheels shouldn't rub. I've got 17x7"(205/40-17) with a 40 offset and 1.8 degrees neg. camber and the car is pretty low. It only rubs if the wheel is turned 3/4 to lock and over a curb. You should be fine.
