Enkei T6S calliper clearance

Hello again friends, once more I turn to the wisdom of this website to settle some mixed information I have turned up.
So enkei T6Ss, I like these wheels alot, they're the style I like most however they're also flow formed instead of a low pressure cast like Rota and Bola but they ain't super pricey forged wheels like the TE37s but I have seen a few people say these wheels don't always clear the callipers on cars.
So what do you guys think? For those who have experience or knowledge: 18x8.5 +35 on stock brake callipers gonna be ok?
My backup is to either keep looking or just settle for the close second which would be TS9s
Thanks once more to this dope community 👌

Hello. Heres a thread on the TS6's. Go to post 25 which shows a member running the +30's & requiring a front spacer
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...kei-t6s-2.html

From our experience, Most Enkei's will require a front spacer. There are a few exceptions like the RPF1's (17x9.5 +18)

But, being that this wheel is +35, it is very likely a front spacer will be needed.

Be great if you can do a test fit

Damn that's kind of u lucky, in Aus it voids insurance and is borderline illegal to run spacers so Im trying to find some decent wheels that are the 6 spoke style that will clear callipers, may just have to settle for the cast Rotas
Thanks anyways

Do you think maybe +25 could clear the callipers?

A +25 would certainly help but w/out a test fit, there is no easy way to determine

Its really all in the spoke & hub design.

Wow those look great man! I do like the 5 spoke but I like that the 6 just stands out a bit more if you know what I mean. Alot of factory wheels are 5 spoke so I'm aiming for something that's subtle but stands out. Loving that colour also :O

Ever thought of Gramlights 57CR 17x9+22?
They fit onto EVO without spacer
