Default Wheel fitment question (square set up)

Been contemplating a square set up for a while now that isn't with the typical linea corse lc818. My mind has been made up to the wedssport sa55m in 19x10 +40. My concern is caliper clearance and suspension clearance up front. I'm pretty certain suspension shouldn't be an issue. Has anyone run this set up or provide some more insight as to if this will fit without the need for spacers?

Just gotta find out how thick is the back spacing on the face. Most likely it will clear the front since our calipers aren't even that thick, thinner than is350 calipers

Might have issues in the front at full lock. You may need to verify with other users who has a similar offset/size front.

If I had a guess, the front shouldnt have any issues. The back clears with a ton of space.

Well the test wheel came in today and I have to say they look amazing, inner suspension clearance is definitely tight, I have about 3mm of clearance on the spindle arm. Is that enough room or would I need extra clearance? The photo attached is looking down

I love those wheels, looks amazing on the USB... I was thinking of going with the gloss black with the blue in the inside - now I will wait and see how yours comes out looking!

spec you have listed will be fine. I ran a 19x10+33 front with no issue at all.

Very nice wheels and flow well with the F.

Why did you choose a square setup?

Mainly aesthetics. I have an s2000 with a square set up as well, I like the aggressive look of it with the concavity on all 4 corners. Haven't seen anyone else with these wheels run a square set up, thought it would be cool to try something different.
