+25 offset rims ok?!

Looking at a new set of rims and I'm looking at a good deal. They are 17x7 so I know the width will be fine by the offset is +25. Will they be fine?

I have used the www.willitfit.com and seen how it will change but I was wondering everyone elses experience with offset and any additional info. My current rims are 17x7 +40 offset.

You'll need to roll the fenders for those specs.

I have the rears rolled already. I know I would need to remove the splash guards for the rolling of the fronts however.... I really dont want to KEEP them out.... by my calculations.... the offset adds just over a half inch to the outter width... shouldn't be TOO big of a deal...

IM still trying to grasp the concept of offset.... can you tell?
