Enkei NT03+M 18 9.5 - What spacers?

What spacers work the best for these rims? I installed with 10mm spacers(cheap ones) and the rims rubbed the calipers. I want best function and performance without the wheels sticking out to far. Here is a pic of the inside of the rim.

What is the offset of the rims? I believe those come in a +40 and a +27 IIRC. Once we know the offset we can help you out

With the +40 you'll need around a 20-25mm spacer in front to make it fit. The 10mm spacer is what works for the +27 offset.

Offset alone doesn't tell you everything you need to fit. The spoke designs have a lot to do with it.

Looks like you need at least 12mm and find the right tire size to fit, assuming +27 offset.

Send a PM to ChaseH. He is selling his NT03, so he should know what you need to fit them.

Oh the "40" threw me off. It is +27. You can fit the +27 in front with a 10mm spacer on 285/30s. I know from experience.

If so then his spacer must not be 10mm then, unless you never noticed the rub on the calipers

Look at the JM Fab Spacers great Quility and with these you already know you need a fender mod kit. I have the same wheels, I still have issues rubbing under the fender by the side skirts lol I am running 245-40 with 1/2 fender gap to wheel with -1.5 front and the rears are at -1.8 camber.
