I'm thinking of putting these on.

They're 5x100/114.3 40 (18's).

What do you think?

Offset is 40? A bit lower than you normally want to go. I would think Rubbing might be a problem.

40mm offset is way too low for a Subaru. You will have fender rubbing, and eventually, premature wheel bearing failure.

I have 18" X 7.5" with 38 offset, and I rub on high G corners. I'm putting on 1.5" and 1" lower springs next week, and I know I will have to roll the fenders.

Actually, Enkei makes some of the OEM aluminum rims for Subaru so they know what fits Subaru.

Also, some wheel manufacturers measure offset differently than Subaru.

I measured my Enkei's that said +40 on them the way Subaru measures wheels and came up with +48. Then I measured the +55 steel wheels that came with my Subaru the way that Enkei measures offset and came up with +47.

My advice is to measure your OEM wheels and then measure the ones that you want to buy and compare YOUR measurements. Don't go by what the wheel or car manufacturer says.
