Width? What width tire do you plan on running. I'd imagine you aren't going thinner but you didn't state.

What type of wheel is it? I doubt a 42 would fit, I remember asking when I initially got my EVO and spacers were required for me (although my setup was coming from a STI)...

Just a quick offset for dummies guide, my undestanding is only ok so i'll do this to the best of my ability

Offset is the the location of the mounting point as a function in mm away from the wheels centerline. Thus a positive offset sets more toward the road and a negetive offset sits the hub more inside the rim.

With a +42mm offset your putting even more wheel under the fender, my personal imagination of this hub is that it would be very flat and possibly have brake clearance issues without spacers.

Anyways
