I would say 42mm is safe but remember if you offset your wheels it won't be as noticeable to others as a drop (unless you've done that already)

Are you just looking for wheels with correct size tires with no fender mods and that won't rub?

Or something that will get as close to the fender as possible, no fender mod, fitted tires but still no rub

Or wheels flush with fender, fender roll/cut, and stretch tires?

are you keeping the 04 wheels and want to make them fit?

you can buy spacers (check ichiba or akata) to push the wheels away from the calipers so they'll fit

see how much space you'll need in order to clear the calipers and pick your spacer (I think max that akata makes is 25 mm)

also, get the spacers with pressed lug bolts in them so you don't need to worry about being too short
