40x15 is not a common bearing... 40x17 is.. and thats what you really need..
Rarely do they mix metric sizes SAE..
Probably the easiest would be to use Kaw bearings and 17mm axle and turn the ends to fit the forks you're using..

Build it the way you want it ..... then learn how to ride it like you own it..
