Some of the cookie cutter wheel makers only have that offset & while it will work most of the time, in truth, it is not ideal. But I know of some inexpensive wheels that are Suby specific, but I can't remember the brand...

Vicore,
hey i was in the same situation as u... last month i purchased a set of 17X7.5 work meister S2R in a 42 offset. I was worried cause everyone says to go with a +48 or above. Work wheels recommendation was a 42 offset. Anyways, I just put them on Toyo proxes 225/45/17 last week and do not have rubbing on fenders or struts like i thought i was. Like he said above u might have extra stress on bearings but will not rub
btw- i have an 04 sedan
