nt03 fitment

i have been reading everything i can find, pming everyone with these wheels and vendors who sell them but i cant get a difintive answer on fitment
here goes again

i want to run 18x9.5 Enkei NT03. there are two offsets. +27 and plus +40. it seems like the +27 is the best fitment.
can i run the 18x9.5 +27 with just spacers in the front? will the back need to be shaved, rolled ect?
what size tires.. seems like 35 height is neccesary, so 255. 265/35/18?

others are running a combo, +27 in front +40 in rear (evodave?) would this fit better with no rolling or would that be more work? how do you rotate tires in staggered offsets?


o i forgot. stock suspension right now. i would like to lower my car on swift springs. will that make a diference in fitment?
maybe i am getting in over my head with such a wide track ready wheel.. all your help is apreciated. and thanks to all of those who have helped me already

i am almost certain youll run a 18x9.5 +27 with a 12mm spacer for front and 18x9.5 +27 no spacer for the back. 265/35/18 tire

ill try and find a pic for you

dont know about the ride quality, i am sure it will be a little stiffer. but after some searching for you i found you are probably best to go with a +40 offset in the rear, and 255/35/18. youll still have to get the fenders rolled.

here is a pic i think he is running a +27 in the rear.

Jim, I'm actually in the process of putting NT03+M size 18X9.5 w/27 offset all around.
I was told that I need 10mm spacers for the front.
As far as I know, I don't need any spacers for the back.
I also thought about staggered set up but i wanted to be able to rotate the tires.
I was also told that I need to roll the rear fenders.
I'm planning on going with 255 35-18s w/springs from gtworks when they come out.
I'm still in the process of obtaining all the parts.
Good luck.
