Hard driving w/spacers (?)

I'm thinking about picking up a set of these~


but they're +40 offset... which just sucks. If I do get them, I plan on getting spacers too.

I was wondering how safe it is to drive kinda hard when running spacers... im not talking about drifting consistently or constantly, but your usual 7/10ths spirited driving... also if anybody has pics of these wheels mounted on a 240, plz post. TIA

ok, thanx for the pics cds14~ and silviadriver I'm only thinking about picking them up because the seller is selling them for a decent price ($400 shipped) and they're in GOOD condition. The only SE wheels I see around are usually scratched up.

I bought mine because my SE wheels were bent from the previous owner. I also got the gts's for $200.

I forgot who said it:

"Make the wheel fit the car, not the car fit the wheel"

But that's just IMO
