it will be really close, may or may not rub with a 7.0" rim (if it does rub it won't be by much)

I would get either a 205 tire with that offset or get +45 to run a 215

i think you will rub.

i have 35s on my 42 offset 18s and I rubbed on stock suspension. I have my fenders shaved with TeinSS and they still rub occasionally. I dont know if they are fine most of the time because I shaved my fenders or because my teins are so damned stiff the rear wheels rarely travel the cm or so needed to rub

42 with definitely rub with that config. Look for +45 at least.

how about this size: 17x7 5x114.3 with an offset of +42mm.
any fitment problems on a P5 with eibach prokits or goldlines?

from what I hear the p5 is even worse in this respect. you will need 45 offset but still might rub unless you go with 48 or greater. check the fitment recipe stickie.

if you use a 205/40/17 -- it would be damn close ---
i use a 17x7 +45 with a 215/40/17 and it is the closest EvAr ----

That would probably work on the sedan, but NOT the P5. Go for +45 or higher.
