Wheel fitment - 7.5 wide 42 offset???

What's up guys, I'm looking to buy rims here soon from a company called Velox and they have a 17x7.5 with a 42 offset.. Is there anyone out there that is running a 7.5 wide rim with 42 offset? I'm not worried about rubbing or anything I just wana see how it looks. (Btw im looking at the flight rims I think it'll look B.A.)
Thanks!

No rubbing. That size fits fine.
For reference, the GP2 has a 17x7.5 ET45 wheel. Your wheel would poke out 3mm more. Not much of a difference.

Okay, so the 7.5 with a 42 offset will work, I have the 16x6.5 rims on it now so it should be 1/2" more away from the strut tower than stock. I was just worried about fender rub and wheel well rub
