Default 40+ offset rota grids....?

Will these stick out? Will they look flat, like flush with the vegicle or will they look like this pic?


This pic the owner claims it an offset of +20

^This.

But, as a guess from your signature. They will be flat, as in not concave, but they will not be flush with the vehicle. They will be sunken.

Okay, for the 100th time on this forum... You cannot tell anything about wheel fitment from the offset alone. You need offset and wheel width. Offset is just the distance from the wheel centerline to the mounting face of the wheel, so that doesn't say anything important without knowing what the wheel width is.
If you have a +40 offset wheel that is 6" wide, it will be completely different than a +40 offset 8" wide.

So what's the wheel width?

If you stand in the middle of a room, and I tell you to take a step to your left, will you run into the wall? There's no way to tell unless you know how big the room is, correct? All you know is that you're a step left from center, that's it.
