Default Enkei NT03's coming

My Enkei's are in route right now, should be here by the end of the day. 18x9.5+27 and 18x10.5+30, the tire setup I have is Nitto 555's 245/40 and 285/35. What size spacers, if any, would you think would make these wheels sit flush? I was thinking a 15mm rear and 10mm front maybe, I'm not the greatest with offsets, any opinions would be great! Thanks

They will only be slightly tucked. I wouldn't recommend spacers. You can fit Michellin PS2 295 in the back easily, even with a drop!

Do you have Brembos? If yes, I believe you'll need at least a 10mm spacer in front to clear.

They clear my 14inch wilwoods no prob without spacers.

First order some real front tires, 245=understeer FTL , lame. Run some 265/35's up front , perfect match for your 285's in the rear.

I run a 10mm front spacer with 255/40 and a 20mm rear with 275/40. I would get your tires first, then figure out the spacers you want.


If you want , i have pics of my car posted in my profile.

10mm spacers will do. Not sure about 5mm (I'm doubtful) I used Eibach w/ new studs. Rears should fit with no problems. G/L

BBKs fit without spacers because they're located further away from the center/hub.

I got a deal on 4 10mm spacers so I put them all around. Everything fits fine now, just not as flush as I'd like up front and waiting to see if I can pull the camber out enough to sit right with the fender in the rear.

Figured the way the BBKs are made was the reason for clearance and not for factory Brembos.

Will post pics asap, IMO looks awesome.

You could run +15mm spacers front and rear easy. That puts you right with the RPF1 +15 setup all around (which I'm running).

Be sure to post your pics in the Enkei thread when you get em on!
