Default Rim Size

I'm about to order a set of 16" x 7.0 with an offset of 42. Will that work on my EF8?
Apparently I can only choose between +25, 33, 42, and 48. Planning on fitting 'em with 205/45 Azenis..

I just wanted to make sure they'd fit when the car was lowered.

And sorry if this ain't a technical question, it is to me Searched, but it's being a bitch.

I'm currently running 16" with 215/45 and 2" drop, and they only rub on the rear-tyres when someone's in the backseat. What I was interested in, was the offset. I don't get much o' that, but apparently 38 or 40 is preferred, and I can't get the rims with that.. So was wondering if 42 is dandy.

The 16x7 with a +42 on 205/45-16 will work fine, even if lowered

What is a universal 4s.?

The offset will determine how far your will sits inward/outward under the car. More positive=inwars, more negative= outward.
