I have a 05 Mazda6i. Today I went a got a Enkei GF1 17" wheels with (42offset) and Yokohoma 215/50/17s with them. While driving back with the stock 16" wheels in the trunk & back seat of car, the wheels rubbed at a few instances What am I supposed to do?? I really like the wheels and the place that my wheels on (Discount tires) assured me that they won't but now they do!!! would rolling the fender help or should I get new wheels?

Rent the rolling tool, follow the simple directions and roll them yourself. Don't run a smaller profile tire, it'll look silly in that wheel well. I realize your new on here, but what's the point of joining the boards if you aren't going to use them. There must be a million threads regarding wheel fitment and anything less than an off-set of 45 is just about assured to rub. 45 is iffy and plenty of people have had them rub. In fact, with an off-set of 42 you are going to have to roll the hell out of your fenders. I mean, who wants a four door car that you cant use the backseat or trunk?
