i will stand corrected if this is off the mark but i think the offset for classics is 45-55mm. i think... but i doubt very much its as low as 40 so spacers would be required.

Minimum ET45 for 7.5 x 18
Minimum ET50 for 8 x 18

Spacers won't help with ET40 as they will move the wheel the wrong way.
The lower the offset the more they stick out.

The lowest offset Prodrive supply, is ET46 for the P1-WRC 18 inch rim.
This is only ET46 in order to allow the thick/deep P1 style spokes to clear the Brembo Calipers.

IF you have a couple of average men in the back the back arches will clunk and rub when accelerating or cornering hard. Other than that, with standard setup it will be fine, I got same size on mine except my alloys are RSGT 5 spoke gole with polished rim
