i'd guess the wheels ET is between 40-45 so yeah i think it should be ok for a 40mm drop.
As diddon said above, take a wheel off and have a look on the back.

:nono: Bad guess

TSW Thunder are available in et40 on the 17" rims, not et42 therefore this (most likely) will be your offset.

30mm, no problems depending on tyre, and 40mm should be the same ;)

well a 215/40/17 is higher than a 205/40/17

This is because the 40 refers to the profile as a percentage of the width. Therefore the 215 wide tyre has a greater profile. This in turn makes your wheel diameter bigger and more chance of it catching an arch. Also, the 40 in those are often sold as 45 which is a greater percentage and a bigger tyre again!
