Is 42mm offset too much for a 16x7" rim?

I'm getting new rims for my Rex (4 lug). I am planning on getting Motegi MR12s (white). I'm on the cheap, and I'm in a hurry. :P

BTW, I'm only getting rears for now... The 185mm tires up front will have to stay. The rears are almost bald, but I don't want to spend money on 14" tires I will be getting rid of soon.

I'm assuming this would create mad understeer while braking... I think I will run 215mm tires.

215's on 7" wide +42mm offset should fit.
