Would a square set of 18x9.5 40mm offset wheels fit all around on my car? I've asked this question many times around the forum, but I always get conflicting information. It seems if I'm not wanting a winter tire setup, a track setup, or a drag racing setup, then no one can give straight information.

The car comes with a track setup set stock, so I'm covered there, and I won't drive it in snow, so I don't need winter tires in that sense. I just want a daily driving set that can be rotated for longer life. I'd like advice on doing that. I want to get absolute confirmation before I pull the trigger. I was thinking of going with the TSW Interlagos or Nurburgrings in this size.
I don't think 18x9.5 40mm offset wheels made by any company will fit both the rear and the front without modifications. I ran a set like that of ZR1 replicas, and the fronts required grinding on the knuckle and running a 5mm spacer. That said, I think you find a square set in a different offset.
