4GSix3T is rigt...I had to do some serious rolling just to fit the rear tires in with 265s, I think with 275s you might need some extra flaring in the rear and the front fenders. Oh let me not forget, the rubbing on the inside wheel well, if you got coilovers you might be able to adjust but stock or lowering springs...forget it. You will rub on every turn or bump.
I have the same exact set-up as you, Im running a 15mm spacer in front.

What spacers are you running, and how did u get it so damn flush.

Looks great.

I initially started just like you, with 14mm spacers by H&R but looked like those low riders with the wheels sticking out. So I got a hold of some 10mm universal spacers by Kics, which work great...well, actually you still need coilovers as well to get that extra inward clearance with a little negative camber in the front and rear since I had swift springs previously and had a rubbing issue on the inside fender wall when at full lock or just hitting bumps or taking a corner aggressively. Hope that helps

Just like deepcover said. Though I dont have NT03 rims but I have the Advan RS 18x9 +29 with Dunlop Direzza z1 tires. The size is 265/35/18. I was lowered on Swift GSR springs and they rubbed. Rolled the rear fenders and no more rubbing.

I later got coilovers and lowered the rear suspension about another 1/2 inch. They rubbed again.

I'm currently running -3.6 up front and -2 in the rear. The rears still rubbed on the track with rolling/ shaving, the street may not be as bad unless you hit some large holes or dips. I had to cut the fronts to prevent them from rubbing. I bought the wheel with the full intention of using its with on the track, which is why I went with the 275. I'm either going to make my own over fenders or purchase some Voltex over fenders. Then I probably will run a 285 or go to a wider wheel.

It also depends on your spring rates/suspension travel. 265/35/18 is the way to go!

10-15mm spacer with ~2.6degree camber up front, rolled rears with ~1.5degree camber out back on 265/35/18 shouldnt have rubbing issues unless you're lowered beyond performance levels (ie just for looks).

Thank you for the wheel and tire specs inco9nito99, its seems like most people that runs these tire and wheel combo has these camber settings. Just like Solo II Evo above, by the way clean ride

hey inco9nito99, about the lowering the car beyond performance level. And this question goes for everyone, How big of a gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender will be THE BEST height for the car on coilovers?

Thanks! Sorry, I ask a lot of questions. hehe, everyones been very helpful though!

Exactly...that is when you might need a whiteline roll center kit.

Car is on Enduratechs. Fronts were fine. I rubbed only in the rear on the track when the turns were hard and were off camber. Under normal driving conditions too and from the track they did not rub at all.
At the track I changed the camber to -1.6 in the rear after the first session. I did -2 to help them fit last minute but the car was a bit unstable in the rear braking from 150 mph. The rubbing was a bit worse but really was not bad t all, no tire damage was done.

Here are a few pics that I found of the car on the track at an HPDE.
