Anytime you have loading, really push the car in a corner or hit a big dip on a highway you will rub, some people can live with it.... some people can't. I would even go with a higher offset than +43 to avoid rubbing personally. In fact, I would say if you want to run 17's with stock suspension you need at LEAST +45.

I ran 17's with a +42 and I wasn't happy. Lots of rubbing with a 205 tire. Swapped out for another 17" rim with +45, no rubs... then dropped the car down on GF210 springs.... the rubbing returned. I swapped out the 205 for a 195 and hasn't rubbed since regardless of how many people or how hard I push it through a corner.
