they look to be just like xxr 521's if so they are good wheels, not as good as real lm's of course but good for the average daily driving human being like you and I.

if you go with +15 you will need to roll you fenders completely with 245/35 rear tire and 225/35 or 225/40 front.

as for the 35 and 40 offsets you should be fine as long as you go with a somewhat stretched tire 255 rear and 235 front. if you want wider tires you will need to roll your fenders unless you will rub.

(this is all if you are lowered with the fenders just barely overlapping the top of the tire) if you are on stock suspension well you can get away with it but it'll look weird imo

i love them... yes, alot of ppl will say that its getting played out... but man, they look so clean on our cars.

i have the varrstoen version. mine are actually 5x120 bolt battern. so i have a custom 19mm adapter.

the wheels are 19x8.5 +15 front and 19x9.5 +20 rear, combined with the 19mm adapter, it actually becomes -4 in front and +1 in rear... sits almost an inch away from the fender, so i still need to get them rolled.
tires are 225/35 in front and 235/35 in rear

A 9.5 +15 rear should fit great and 10.5 +22 would fit as well

Only good looking LM reps are made by Varrstoen. google it or search here . i have a few posts from when i was looking to buy some. but ended up going with a different set.

Linea Corse makes a nice set of replicas as 4thHorsemn just mentioned.

I think the Varrstoen's look the best in person. But pretty lame when people put BBS center caps on a replica wheel. So easy to spot fakes in person if you know what to look for.
