Fronts will not clear the calipers. You will need a 12mm spacers for them. I just went through the same thing my front offset was E44 and they did not clear the calipers.
Rear will fit fine but you will likely want to put 12mm spacers there as well to get the wheels out a little bit more.
I hope this helps.

295 could possibly fit (tho should have a 10" wheel).
Have put 18/9.5/et35 w/275s on rears, sits pretty flush and does not rub stock fenders

Thanks,
my tire are same as original spec.. 235 40 18 front and 265 35 18 rear
Btw; that's pretty strange i just bolted up front wheel and it clear galiper by approx 2mm
Because stock wheel is ET30 with 8", now using ET42 with 8.5"
That mean:
8.5" - 8.0 = 0.5" = 12,7mm / 2 = 6.35mm
42 - 30 - 6.35 = 5.65mm
So distance between galiper and interior wheel is reduced by 5.65mm. I did not calculated the original gap but it should be near 7-8mm
So 5mm spacer will throw wheel back as stock, or so.
Maybe im wrong?
also that could depend how the wheel is designed too, if its concave or flush.. etc..
