TSW Mondello 19X8 5/114.3 +40
I know you said +48 is ideal but the only company that seems to make that offset is RJ. Is the difference between +48 and +40 going to make that much of a difference. Here is the wheel.

WTH happened to my garage
The width would make a difference in the offset required.
Wheels like TSW, Konig, or any other high production manufacturer you would see on tirerack.com or discounttiredirect.com are going to be of a limited offset production. That limited offset offering means they can produce a few wheels that fit *most* cars just *OK*. Not great, on some cars, they will stick under too much, on others, they will stick out too much, but they *might* work.
Look at how many different sizes and offsets are offered by RAYS for their tried & true TE37 wheel.

Also, mass manufacturers like TSW change styles often and finding *one* can really suck if, God forbid, you need one.
Then again, with a soft cast wheel like TSW (Totally Soft Wheels) you better buy 5 when you get them.
The thing with high line or model specific wheels is that you have a huge offering of different sizes and offsets to fit the car *correctly*.

Thanks for everyones help.

problem with the TSX is that the rear wheels will be more tucked in due to the bulging fender shoulder., so the magic number to get the front and rear right in the middle is 48. Any lower and the front wheel will jab out a bit more than suggested. Any higher and the rear wheel will be too tucked in. Here's a shot to show how the 8.0" wide 48mm offset:
