mike are those the 17x9.5s?
i thought the rim face was sunken in like my RPF1s posted above for the 9.5s and not convex or dished outwards....im glad i didnt go that route then, im not knocking on them at all but i love the cancave face on my RPF1s...just looks meaner IMO

 

yes they are 17x9.5 +38 and no spacers required. The concave look on NT03 is only on the rims for the rear since the brakes are much smaller than front. People buy concave NT03 and put them on the front, but they have to use spacers to push them out in order to clear the brakes.

 

mike01 the car looks really good. but i also like the concave look. but all in all not bad. i'll have some serious thinking to do.

 

sorry about how dark the wheels look but they are Nto3+m 17x9.5 I'm running 275/40/18 and i had to roll the back and stretch the front but im pretty sure you don't have the roll or stretch your fender with 255

 

yeah it depends on what you want.....I bought the wheels cause I wanted
the most width to get the most out of 255's and not have to roll fenders or
use spacers. Now there is nothing wrong with rolling fenders or using spacers
I just really didn't want to deal with it. There are alot of wheels that are better
looking, however I think they look decent and fit my needs and budget.

 

that is why i'm seriously leaning towards this setup. did you fell a difference with these rims than your previous setup? i have 19x8.5 now and they are great but i think i rather stay at the 17" mark and have a good set of rims for everyday and occasional track use. although right now its hardly driven and when it does see a track it's a 1/4 mile. Mike if you happen to have a side pic i would love to see it!

 

Robi's NT03+M's 17x9.5 with 255/40/17 Nitto NT-01's: NO SPACERS REQUIRED ON ANY EVO 8-9

Also note that it sits on Robi's KW Clubsports's. We DID have to roll the back lip but also note why it is so low and smooth Takes 10 minutes if you know what your doing.

Enjoy the action pics. Rub? Never has, even after 8 track events. Robispec FTW!

 

great pics!!

 

i have the same wheels and with my ohlins coilovers i had to use 10 mm spacers.

 

ok well here the catch with my set up when i was robispec on Apexi Coilovers i needed to use 15mm spacer to clear in the front with 275/40/17 here the funny part i have change coilover set up now im using DMS 40 i try the wheels on without spacers and it fits isnt that funny

 

I'm pretty sure you'll only get the 'dished' look NT03+M in 18" sizes for the Evo. The 17's have the convex look.

 

found these pics which show the 18" rwd concave look and the 17" deep fwd basket look. These pics are from a for sale thread by kingkyle...hope he doesn't mind. I'll throw up the link also so people can buy them from him.

per Kyle - the 17x9.5 fit without spacers, need to roll rear fenders, though! I am sure he doesnt mind - he can sell a few more sets this way

 

Yeah thats what I figured that's why I put the link there. I have the the 17x9.5's and I run 255's no spacers, no fender rolling.

Mike

 

Let me clarify - for 275's, fender rolling required. Thats what I would like to run!
