i have the same exact specs for my wheels. but i suggest you get a 215/40/17 tire instead of the 45 series. no rubbing after cutting the tab in the rear fender. im dropped on ground controls, so no exact drop is certain.

I have some 17x7 wheels on stock suspension. I can't remember for sure, but I think my offset was 40mm, possibly 42, but think it was 40. It sits just flush w/ the fenders and does not stick out any.

Yeah I had a 17x7 before with a +42mm offset. I believe I either ran a 215/35 or 215/40 17" tire.

my main concern is rubbing and fitment, any issues with that on 17x7 42mm wheels (given your set of tires)

I think my Konig blatants are 17x7 with a 42 mm offset, 215/40/17 tire. Should fit without a problem, Mike D had them mounted before me plus he was lowered.

Where Did you buy your roja's?
Do you corner hard? or do you drive conservatively? Do you have a drop?
