I guess I wasnt clear with my question. I know what "flush" means. But what I was asking is that, Will it look terrible? I have been searching pics with 40 offsets. I dont think they look terrible

Nothing a 5, 10, or 15 mm spacer cant fix. I like the look of a flush setup, but i dont think its for everyone. nothing wrong with offsets in the 30s and a decent sized tire in my book.

I didnt specify on the order when I talked with him but there are two options in this wheel. There is a +20 front and rear rear option. Maybe he sent that? We will see

If u put a 10mm spacer on front, a 5mm on the rear, have a nice drop. Its gonna look pretty sick.

What are your views on spacers? I have always heard that it will cause issues with the way the car rides. Could cause shaking? Vibrations? I could probably pull off a 5mm spacer on all four if needed. we will just have to see that happens when they come in

+40 on front and rear is still more offset than OEM wheels. It will look fine.

FYI, the TOM'S wheels are 8.5 +40 and 9.5 +40, so there is definitely nothing wrong with that... and if you care more about performance than looks, you probably don't want them poking out anymore than that.
