ET40 with 15x6.5 ok?

Would that be sticking out of arches or hidden inside too much?

It will stick out more but still very much tucked in the arches.

Yeah, they'll only protrude 7.7mm beyond stock, so absolutely nothing to worry about.

I ran 15x7" et26 and they worked perfectly with the arches...
