The headtube on my medium trance x measures 143mm and my hope stem is 42mm. New forks I'm looking to buy have a steerer of 183 
I'm I cutting it too close?

Yes.

Don't forget there's a headset to fit in there somewhere...
I'd steer clear (pun intended)

You could swap to an FSA stem (or similar) with a 35mm stack height but depending on the headset height, i'd steer clear to be safe (unless the fork is local and you can try before you buy).

The trance has a integrated or semi headset so basically sits flush, wasn't going to use spacers anyway. Still a no-go?

Whats the steerer length of your old forks?? Seems tight.

Well you've got 182mm of steerer and 185mm minimum of stack, not including the HS which will add a couple of mm either side I'd say even if it is flat.
Would well be needing some new forks there

It's a new frame so haven't had forks on it before.
