42mm Offset - 215/45 with hsports and koni -rubbing?

Hi guys.

I have the H-sport springs and Koni Yellows on my car and just got 17 inch wheels. The wheels are 42mm offset. With a 215/45/17 do we think I will get rubbing or will I have enough clearance? Should I be going with the 215/40?

Many thanks!

7" width? probably okay depending on the tire. 7.5" probably will rub,
but even if you did you can dremel that rear fender arch easily per minihune/alex.

Haha ok now you have confused me. Did you mean the actual arch or the inner fender lining?
