Default 165/45/15 on a 15x6.5 +40 offset?

So a friend of mine is giving me his rota sa racings for a cheap price and i happen to have some Federal 165/45's laying around. I was wondering if anyone had an idea or any pics of how this would look.

Feedback on the idea as well would be nice....

Pretty ridiculous would be my guess.

^^ i dont think he would be stretching much at all with 6.5 wide wheel and 165's..

your rs's were lower in offset. 15x6.5 +40 are you serious? thats like stock wheel spec. 195/50 or 205/50 would look best.
