and lastly, if the offset were +38-+40 in the front, do you know if the brakes fit?

Yes I actually did know they were going to be that close, that was the hold up for a few weeks till I decided what to do. When I test fit them, they didn't work so I even thought about getting new wheels at the time, but I had to make them work

So I had to grind on the caliper just a little bit and then use a 3/16" spacer and then get extended studs to make everything work. No the rears bolted on with no problem and I still have probably about 1" gap between the wheel and the caliper.

And like mkiiisupra said, it will all depend on the wheel. The way my spokes are curved made them not work...at first
