If I put these wheels on all 4 sides (non staggered) would that 40mm offset look appropriate? Won't the back wheels look more concaved in than the oem wheels since these are 40mm offset?
And then lastly, in order to close as much of a fenderwell gap without lowering the car, would I want something like a 225/45/18? Basically a 40 series tire will leave a larger fenderwell gap?

If it says +40mm, yes, it means that the offset is 40mm.
Those look okay in the front, but will need approx 15mm spacers in the rear to not look tucked.
And with 225/45/18 the tire diameter will be larger and the gap smaller.
