Default wheel question?

Im buying some rl7s off here on sat day they will have 215/40/17 tyres on the wheels are et25 and 8" wide.
just wondering if anybody else runs the same size and offset wheels? and do you have any problems etc.

Or can anybody else tell me if ill have problems my arches have already been rolled etc so hopefully will be fine

With the arches rolled you should get away with it. Depends on height though really
