Hehe, no mate! The smaller the offset the more room between the calliper and the rim spoke. For example with my rims, +38 wouldnt clear my Brembo callipers, but +35 there is around a 0.5cm gap. With RSGT, because the spoke has a convex shape, you might find that +42 is ok with your callipers...cant see +38 being an issue at all with a 7.5 width!
