Dont be so sure about that. First gen brakes are different than 1.5s. The front brakes are especially a bitch to clear. I dunno if a +42 will fit without a spacer or not.

Mine are 42mm off set, they just barely clear the caliper bracket up front. Ive had no problems with em. But anything more than a 42mm, youll need a spacer.

will a +42 offset fit?

 

There's no rule for offset and wheel fitment. Sometimes they fit, sometimes they don't. The problem is they can hit the caliper. Whether they'll clear the caliper depends on the design of the wheel.

Many wheels +42mm offset will fit. The factory pie-cut wheels on my 89 were +44mm and they fit fine.

However, the +42mm offset wheels I have on my car now would not come close to fitting. Even with a 5mm spacer to make them +37mm wouldn't cut it. I had to upgrade to 96 front brakes to space the calipers out more, AND add 5mm spacers, AND shave about 7mm off the caliper brackets. All 3 things were required to get them to fit! Same story with the Alessio version. On the other hand, I've had +42mm wheels that wouldn't fit, but ONLY required shaving 3mm off the caliper bracket.

 

Basically, no fitment is guaranteed unless someone has actually tried them and reported that particular brand/model as fitting.
