i'm trying to figure out the right spacers for my car that will make my wheels credit card flush with a fender roll. here are the specs

1989 nissan 240sx stock brakes buddy club p-1 racing QF17X7jj +42 offset (F/R)215/40/17 (F/R)

I tried using the wheel offset calculator but i'm not sure it's telling me what i need. it says to extend 23mm, will that make me flush? i don't wanna order the wrong spacers so help is appreciated.

Your best option would be to sell what you got, then buy the correct offset to begin with.In all reality, that spacer would need to be at least 30mm.

Welcome to the hard, ugly, reality that is personalising your car.Didn't intentionally want to hurt your feelings, but, think wider and offsets in the teens to low 20's.
