Question enkei NT03+m wheel fitment for evo 9 mr lowerd with swift spec R springs

im trying to fit some NTO3+m wheels with out rolling my fenders, my car is going to be lowered with swift spec R springs, so what size tires, wheel offset and spacers do you think i will need?

in the front i was thinking of running 18x9.5 +27 10mm spacer, for tires i was thinking 245s, i dont know what to run in the back.


thanks.

+27 in the back is fine. Run the 245s and some negative camber!

It's not going to ware your tires as bad as you may think. Not like you'll be running -3 degrees or anything. You should get some camber to improve handling, and make use of the tires anyways. -1 to -1.5 will be fine on a dd. I run -2.5 and -1.7 since installing coilovers, and I put about 2-3k miles on the car every month...not including autox twice a month. Do it, or I tell Kittens to kick your a**

I dont understand why people wont go the full distance on this stuff. On the 27 offset you will have to roll you fenders slightly. But you wont have to with -2* of camber, but oh you dont want to run alot of camber... Then buy different wheels.

10mm spacers in front, no spacers need in the rear. For alignmenr, get -2 degrees in front, -1 to -1.5 in the rear. Your car will look great and handle great. Do it or I will have Kittens push you off the ski lift!

I run a lot of fawking camber and barely have any additional wear from it. A lot of wear comes from toe and not camber, we do turn our cars occasionally remember? Don't be afraid to roll cut pull and generally abuse your fenders they will be fine.
