Default Some advice on Volk ZE40, help please

These are the wheels I am considering pulling the trigger on.
https://www.nengun.com/rays/volk-racing-ze40
These are the specs I am interested in:
FRONT = ZE40 Bronze 8.0J 5H-114.3 +48 FACE-2
REAR = ZE40 Bronze 9.0J 5H-114.3 +61 FACE-1
With a 225/255 summer tire setup. I am driving an AP1 with a custom suspension.
Edit: more on the suspension...
2 way adjustable Coilovers
lowered 3/4"
springs are 480lbs up front and 450lbs rear
Sway bars are custom made

My question is will those wheels work? I know the offset looks golden and the tires will fit, but I am not sure about the bore how do I check that before putting the deposit down. What am I missing? what else should I be checking before ordering?

I don't see a bore listed for most of the wheel options in the link. Usually this isn't an issue with aftermarket wheels but maybe contact them before plopping down a lot of money.

When you say "custom suspension" I assume you mean the car is lowered? You are going to want to be careful and may need to roll the front fenders if the car is lowered. Besides that they will fit just fine.

I would run a full 255 square setup order all of the same size rims
ZE40 Bronze 9.0J 5H-114.3 +61 FACE-1 all 4
255/40 will fit you will need to roll your rears a bit but fronts if you don't slam the car will fit might burn a bit of the lining at full lock but it fits

Guarantee those Volks in 5x114 are going to be the large bore 73.1mm as standard. I know Ray's will make different bore sizes but thats for 4x100, 5x100 sizes or a custom order.

Just need some hub centric rings (different front and back) to bridge the gap.

^that was my assumption they usually have a large bore so it can fit a number of applications. The rings aren’t even really needed so long as you use correct mugs and torque them down correctly.
