Enkei NT03+M Question

For those of you who are Rockin' these wheels. Is there an offset you can get to clear the front Brembos without having to use a spacer? If so, plz let me know and provide pics if you got 'em.

Balrok, in this thread you said there was a set in 17.9.5" NT03+M that doesn't require spacers. I'm not trying to 'call you out' but I am curious.

I searched around because I was curious. So there may/may not be spacerless NT03's out there in 17" size. I believe there was a +38 offset on a 17x9.5" set.

Regarding 18s, NT03+M come in +40 (require 25mm spacer up front) and +27 (people usually use a 15mm spacer up front). That's it for 18x9.5", but they look amazing. I've been running the +40's for two years now.

Not to be rude, but any small amount of searching will yield you more information that your heart desires. That's how a forum becomes valuable.

Also, again not to be rude, but did you read my post? +40 requires a 25mm spacer. So, without a spacer, no, it won't fit at all. Nor will a +27.. both require spacers.

With spacers, yes, they fit perfect. Don't be afraid of spacers. Hubcentric ones work great.

17x9.5+38 will fit with no spacers and no fender rolling. I know as that is what I run in the summer.

I've heard people say that you may need to roll the rear fenders and/or modify the front fender liners, but I have not have any rubbing issues in either place. I'm running 255/40's and lowered on Swift springs.

If your shopping for form over function, remember that the 17's have the convex look. Most people prefer the concave 18" wheels of varying offsets. I do believe that most (if not all) of the 18" wheels require spacers.

If you would like to see pictures, there are a few shots in "My Garage"
