Proper wheel fitment Enkei Nt03

Ok so ive read the other threads on this situation, but I cant really find specifics on my tire selection. So I have a full set of Enkei Nt03 18x9.5+40 with .25mm spacers in the front. Currently im running a set of Bayspeed wide flare front fenders, but would like to go back to OEM fenders. My question is if im running a 255/35/18 tire can I stick these rims under my car without any rubbing issues if I decide to go back with OEM front fenders????Thanks in advance

I would say the spacer may be too aggressive for the rear(Effectively you are running +15 offset)
If you use a 15mm spacer or so it will be perfect fit (Not sure if 15mm will clear Brembo or not through)
I would recommend 265/35/18 because the rolling diameter is like stock rather than slightly shorter like 255/35/18
Most likely you will need to roll your rear fender

Rear is rolled, im only referring to the front fenders, ie going back to stock from aftermarket wide fenders.

I run this setup right now. +40, with the 25mm spacers up front. No issues. I run 265/35/18 tires too.

Do you really need the 25mm up front or would it clear the brembos with 15mm?

This is exactly what i was looking for Looks great, i have had my wide fenders on with this set up so i wasnt sure if OEM fenders were an option with this offset without alot of rolling of the front fenders.

I think I read somewhere, you could get by with 22mm spacers, but nothing less than that.

p.s. My setup is for sale! haha
