Default 225 235 tires with 40mm offset

Trying to decide on my front wheel and tire combo on my CRX. 400whp is a tough to hook. Debating on BFG, MT or M&H drag radials but just need to know if anyone else has tried to fit 225/50/15 or even 235/60/15 tires on a 15x6.5" wheel with a 40mm offset. I'm more concerned about inner suspension rubbing at the front. I will just raise the ride height to prevent the tire from hitting the fenders so a tucked wheel is not a concern of mine. I've been able to fit 38mm offset wheels with 225 Hoosiers using a loaner wheel with no rubbing issues. So far the only wheels I can find that are ideal are Rota's or Nippon's that are 15x6.5" with 40mm offsets so if they will clear at least the 225's then that's what I'll plan to use. If not, can anyone direct me where I can buy lightweight 15x6.5 wheels with 38mm offsets. Thanks

hahahahhahaha.

But seriously. if you want cheap good light wheels then get the Konig Helium in 15.

Any 38mm offsets? Still searching. I didn't think it would be this hard to find some decent ones.
