2007 GD3 Sport, 15x7 +42 with tein s-tech - Will it fit?

Hey folks. I've been looking at wheels since I bought my fit a few weeks ago. I've been reading on this forum, and have decided to stick with 15" and the 195 tire. I was looking at 6.5" wide rims just to keep from rubbing, but I came across a set of 5zigens that I really like. The specs are them are: 15x7, +42 or +33 offset, 14lbs. I'll be putting the 195/55/15 tires on the rim. My main concern is rubbing, as I'll be installing a set of tein s-tech springs on the car. Will the 15x7 +42 rub? Ideally I'd like to go for the +33's just to have a more flush look, but I'm guessing those will rub for sure.
Here's a pic of the rims:

Thanks for the help!

Alright after doing much reading, it appears that what I'm really going to need are +45mm wheels if I want to avoid rubbing. I at some points will have quite a bit of weight in the car, and i really don't want to start rolling fenders. So can anyone suggest some wheels either 15 or 16 that come in +45 offset? I seem to be having a hard time finding them.

Smile I think you are confused...

The original (sport) wheels are 15X6 +53, on my GE I put 15X6.5 +40 offset with no problems (195/60/15 tires though). The wider the wheel the less offset you need. You should be fine with either the +33 or +42 in 7 inch width.

Hmmm, thanks for the feedback. I think I've settled on the 5zigen gn+ in HMC.

I run 16x7 +40 on tein. 205/40. Of course I have no fender lips,i cut them out. Fender rolling can be done for about $200 all corners. Well worth it to fit your desired wheels.
