Ok ive got enough of this mathematic thingy on wheel fitment and I need you wheel gurus to help me out. Would a 17x7 offset +40 or +38 fit and how close would it be to the fenders?

Well you can go flush but that'll mean bigger spacers. Lol. Big as in 25mm+ for sure. I wouldn't run higher than 25mm btw. Doesn't sound too safe imo. Lol.

17x7 +40 you'll need about 20mm in the front and close to 25mm in the back to sit flush depending on your tire size and lowering

If you don't give the wheels any negative camber, and use 215/45/17 you'll probably get a flush fit with 18-20mm front and 25mm rear.

I'm currently on 195/55/15 tires with 15" 2001 GT wheels which are 15x6.5" +38 and they're barely not flush with 20mm in the front. You have and extra 10mm of wheel with 7" wide wheels and a good 15-20mm more of tire with 215/45/17s.
