yes... 42mm will work.

Offset is the amount that the wheel will stick out. The higher the number the more the wheel will be tucked in, and the lower the number the more the wheel will stick out. Stock offset is either 40mm or 45mm, so 42mm will be about the same. I have 17'' with a 42mm offset, but I plan on putting on some wheel spacers in order to bring the wheel out to flush.

The lug size is 5 X 114.3mm which can also be listed as 5 X 5.5''. Both are the same.

That is all you need to know.

I would think that the length of the stud would not be any issue, but I could be wrong. My OEM studs were fine with my aftermarket 17''. If the studs are too short, you must replace them with longer ones, but I doubt the ones you have now would not work.
