i think u rub cuz of the 225 tire. 17x7 42 offset sounds fine. have u tried 215/45 on your current wheel? i think the 17x7 38 offset will give u problems. i have 17x7 40 offset w/ 215/45 and havent noticed rubbing but it looks close. i feel i'd rub w/ 225/45. 40 offset seems to be the lowest offset for 17x7
