I just bought the Ichiba Ver.2 15mm spacers off these guys for use on the stock Enkei's. Should effectively change the offset from +35 to +20 which is doable even at 0* and should sit pretty flush. The main reason I got them though was for my +30 Rotas in the front that need at least 10mm (comfortably) spacers in order to clear the Brembos.

Nice well would it be better to run 15mm in the front and 10 in the back?

Not better persay... I was just explaining why 15mm would work in the front. I don't plan on doing rears since +30 fits fine in the back. But if you must get rear spacers you don't want anything bigger than 5mm otherwise you will need to roll the fenders depending on your drop.

Exactly ^^^

I recommend 20mm spacers up front.
15mm in the rears would make it flush as the fronts, but would need to have the fenders rolled.

I guess 20mm would work best for oem wheels since that effectively puts them at +15 offset which would be perfectly flush with the stock fenders. I opted for the 15mm since I also have another set of wheels at +30 which put those at +15 after all is said and done. These other wheels are the main reason I bought spacers in the first place since they needed at least the 8mm ones I had in order to clear the brakes.

that's the thing. the 10mm do not come with built in studs. the version 2 does but they start at 15mm.

^^

10mm is the bare minimum.
Hubcentric wheel spacers is what you want to prevent the wheel from shaking.
Built-in studs make life "easier", spacers and ARP extended studs are "safer".
You can also take a look at Project-Kics spacers that TF also sells.

Take it for what its worth.

alright so then what exactly should i get?? Also, what would be the easiest spacer/stud combo to use with the nto3s being that every winter i use stock rims with winter tires. could i simply just keep the spacers on there with the extended studs? or is their an easier solution?

For the 18x9.5 +27 NT03's, you will need a minimum of a 10mm spacer.

With the 10mm spacer it gives you about a 3mm clearance between the wheel and caliper.
Depends on what size tire / camber / over fender...you have to choose the right size spacer.

We have 10mm Bolt-on Spacers also - Kics Project.
These are $132.00 (not vehicle specific)

The 15mm bolt-on spacers are: $110.00 (vehicle specific)

The NT03's have a 72mm center bore. Most aftermarket wheels have a 73mm center bore. You can get a set of plastic hubcentric rings and shave them down 1mm, and will fit.

Finally got these installed and they look and work great! Thanks Touge Factory! I just have one concern. The spacers shown on Ichiba's website (http://www.ichibausa.com/15albowhsp4.html) come with a lock adapter and different nuts that have 4 holes in it. How come I received nuts that had a regular hex head? They were 9/16" I believe. Did Ichiba change the design for some reason?
