42 on 17's should work. Also depends on wheel width and tire width. Good explanation of how offset needs to change with different wheel sizes is http://www.vfaq.com/mods/macross/offsetFAQ.html.

Stock offset is 46. 225's are close, but work. If you go wider, the wheel needs to be farther from the suspension. Take the increase over 225 and divide by two, then subtract that from 46 (stock offset).

http://www.vfaq.com/mods/macross/2Gfitment.html lists examples of setups that work.

"17x7
215/45-17
+40mm
FWD
No problems."
