I had 16x7 +40 for my daily driving wheels and 15x6.5 +38 for my track wheels, neither rubbed
I thought the Atech finalspeed wheels were +43 offset

I was actually wondering how well these wheels fit, as I am also looking into getting a set

just got an e-mail from Mr. Redshift himself and he says that +43 is actually the ideal offset. so ill be picking up a set of A-Tech Final Speed FS-05.

Yes, +42 or +43 in a 15x7 is the ideal offset. You won't get rubbing anywhere unless you subtract a lot of camber out of the rear, then will need to roll the fender a little.

I've used everything from 15x7 +43 Aguzzes to 15x6.5 +30 SSR's to 14x7 +28 Panasports on EF's. Currently we use 15x7 +35 Volks with 5mm spacers in front and 3mm spacers in the rear. No rubbing, but then again we're not making u-turns or doing extreme parking, and we've also rolled fenders front and rear.

FWIW, I had rubbing in the rear on my CRX with +40 15X6.5 with 205 Azenis. Maybe CRX's have slightly less room than the hatches?
