^ no..... not 42 mm spacers...

You need about a final offset of +30 i believe.

Therefore you will need 12-15mm spacers to be flush.

big spacers look dumb because there is no lip on the wheels. it will still be sunken in with 15mm. time for new wheels that fit right.

do 17x8 +30 or so, with 215/45/17, no need for spacers with that setup, it'll sit pretty slick.
