    Need help from wheel guru's...

    I have a set of 17x7 Motegi MR7's @ a +40 Offset. In order to mount I need to get wheel adapters. Smallest I can get is 3/4" (20mm). Will I get wheel poke with these wheels or be flush? I am hoping to stay within the top of the wheel arch.. Planning on running 215/45 R17 Tires... Thanks!
