Im running 17x7 in a 40 offset with a 215/40/17. I'm lowered on Gold-Lines, 2" drop, and have not had a single rubbing issue. I do not know about the 42 offset however. If you need to get the 42's, the go to http://www.onetongarage.com/products...cer/index.html and order the 5mm spacer. Simple to install and that should solve the problem. Hope this helps and good luck.

I have/had the same offset and tires on my Buddy Clubs. For the flush look, I'd recommend the OTG rear shims. That's what I had before I went camber and staggered fiot 18s.
Oh, I had to run 3 mm spacer rings, in the rear, before I had the OTG rear shims installed.

When using spacer rings, make sure the lugnuts make 6 complete rotations so they can be torqued properly. Otherwise, longer studs will be needed.

RogerTTR says this in another thread today:
"Our fitment team has approved 215/40R17's as a guaranteed trouble fee/rub free fitment for your xB providing you are running properly specified 17 X 7 or 7.5" wheels with offsets between 37 and 42mm's. For more information please feel free to call or visit our site at: http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=DJ1&url=index.jsp "
If your mounting on 17x7 or 17x7.5 and 42mm offset you look good to go with the 215/40/17 but if your trying to go 17x8 and 42mm your probably going to rub.
