1. probably not. with a +42 offset the wheels will be 3mm further out than the stock Si tires.

2. spacers would be needed if they were too close to the suspension. since the +42 already brings them 3mm further than the Si stock, i doubt it.

3. 225 is the widest you should go on a 7" width. which should also be just fine.

The stock Si wheels are 17x7" with a +45 offset and 215/45/17 tires. You will be just fine and the 3mm offset difference will push the wheels out and look just a wee bit better anyway. You're good to go.
