Kosei K2R fitment

Hello all! I found some wheels I think are just right for my car. I'm currently running 15x5.5 stock R100's, but previously had 16x7 Konig Feathers with 205/50/16 rubber, and the fitment was just right... the edge of the tire lined up perfectly with the fender. Of course moving to the smaller wheel and tire set (the stock 15's with 175/65/15) leaves quite a bit of fender overhang.

I'd like to stick with 15" wheels, and these new Kosei are 15x7 but the offset I believe comes in +25 or +38

Could someone help me with choosing which offset and which tire size to get the closest overall fitment to my 16x7 et40 205/50/16 setup?

Also any input from those of you who may have already bought these wheels would be great (finish, etc.)

The 38mm offset is very close (2mm outward) to the 16x7 et40 wheel you had so that is your best choice if you liked that look and fit.

The 25mm offset is very aggressive and sticks out 15mm more than the Feathers.
