Fronts no problem.
Rear , you going to be going out by 33mm (compared to standard 205's on 7"). Thats 8mm on the offset and 25mm each way on the tyres.

Fronts will be OK, rears will almost certainly foul on the inside.

Nope, +63 means that the mounting flange on the wheel is 63 mm toward the outside from the centre of the wheel.
Bigger the number, further IN the wheel sits.

Go with 17 x 9 with +48 offset. 235 x 40 will fit fine. Any wider and you will probably have to roll the fender slightly.
