I am looking at rims at the moment. I have the choice of:
+25, +33, +42, +48
for 16x7's. What would be the best for the front and back if it varies at all?

+42 would be closest to stock if u wanna keep it that way.
Another way to look at it is:
+25 will push out the wheels (wider track)
+42 as ducktape69 says, is closest to stock
On a +25 there might be some rubbing against the body work during suspension compression (front & rear) or during steering (front).

I would go with +33; I run +38 on my 15x7's and a few extra mls should help fill the guards with out being radical;my specs roughly equate to +40 (original for NB's)given the extra width of the rim.
I get a little more tramlining but overall it is a good set up
