Default 19x8 front 19x9.5 rear 40 offset how will it be?

I'm looking at some new wheels

Specs are

5x114.3
19x8 in the front
19x9.5 in the rear

But it's the 40 offset that worries me, I don't want the wheels to be sunken in, does anyone have experience with these sizes and offsets on their car?

Pictures are always welcome

I have a 10" rim in the rear with a 40 offset and the rim is right at the fender. My fronts are 8.5" wide but with a 24 offset. I think your fronts will need some spacers.

I have 19x9f +25 and 19x10r +25. My car is slammed with a lot of camber, and rolled fenders all around. My front are about a 1" sunken in the front and my rears are about 1/2" sunken in. It depends on how low your going. They wont look that bad at all if you have a small drop.

I use to have 19x8.5(fr) and 19x9.5(r), both with a +38 offset. The fronts had the sunken in look and the backs looked ok, but not quite flushed.
