you are using 42 and 10.5?

the new wheel will extend outwards ~ -(42-29) + (10.5-9) * 25.4 / 2 ~ 6 mm, should be fine

inside clearance will be 13 + 19 or 31 mm deeper, most likely will hit the suspension
If I'm following you then using spacers should sort the clearance of the suspension? But obviously need more arch work.

this was 10.5 with 8mm spacers on, cant remember the offset now , the tyres wernt stretched so looked very wrong, 10.5 fitted the rear ok.

fronts stuck out too much, and didnt like the wheels once on,

i think you should be ok but it will be a faf

Thanks for the info Rick. Fingers crossed it will all work out.

I've seen the air suspension advertised. I take it that the struts are thinner on air suspension allowing more room for clearance?
