Hello, I am terrible when it comes to calculating wheel fitment. If someone could double check me on this it would be much appreciated.

1994 NA looking at all 4 18x8 +40 offset with 225/40 tires
Will this fit without rubbing? Will they look bad at stock height?

Here's some pics of the ones I'm looking at:

BBS (RK?) Does anyone know if these are real?

They are the same diameter as the factory size tire for the NA. The wheel is 5mm different offset than the factory NA wheel, it will only stick out 5mm more than the factory wheel. You are just fine and should not have any issues and will look about the same at stock height.

If they are real , no idea. Post some pics with them on.

A 2010 Civic I believe. They are 5x114

This fitment sucks. I've got the same size and offset that my mom had put on before she handed over me the keys. They don't rub or anything, but they don't come out flush to the fender. I personally can't wait to replace them with something wider.
