I just picked up a set of Enkei NT03+ from another forum member.
The fitment is 18x9.5 +40mm offset.
The only suspension upgrade I've done is TRD lowering springs.
My question is, will they fit on the car as is? Or am I going to rub?
Will I need spacers (if so, what size)?

I've read up a lot, and everyone seems to say something a bit different. I've heard on enkei sportlines (pretty sure they're identical to TRD lowering springs) that you need 3mm spaces to fit. But is that all around, or just the front?

Someone please help me. Thank you in advance!

Most likely klutch like the one on my profile pic on the left.

Car will be on pbm coilovers and rlca. Think its possible?
I know ae86guy ran ns2 mesh with 16x9.5 with tons of camber and smaller tires. I cant go that aggressive but would like to get close.

Depends on the offset. If they are already +38 for example, a 25mm spacer would make crazy poke at effective offset of +13. So... whats the offset of the 17x8 wheel? Need that info to really answer your question.

Tire Fitment

Question:

I have a set of wheels. Enkei Kojin staggered. 18x9.5 rear and 18x8.5 front. +45 offset both. I'm lowered on H&R sport springs. about 1.5 inches. I'm considering running 255/40/18 on rear & 235/40/18 on front. Will this fit, or will it be an issue? I hate having to ask, but fitment is not my strong point. I'm getting frustrated with all the conflicting advice and opinions. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

18x9" +35 245/40 in Front (1" drop)
18x9" +20 245/40 in Rear (1" drop)
Stock suspension with lowering springs.

Not looking for flush, but I want to know if I'll rub. I've tried the fitment calculator and I don't seem to have a problem but, I'm just not certain. I've heard that wheels that are 9" or 9.5"+ might have problems in the front and need coils. Sorry if it has been already been answered. Please post link! Thanks in advance.

this will most likly rub on the inner struits. depends on the tireflank of the tires you choose (each manufacture makes them different) but it will either be extremly close or even rub. 225 or 235 may be the better choice here

very very close to the inner struits. you may clear then with 225 tires mounted, but still very close. I would try to testfit the wheels first.

Thank you
one of the thigtest fittings you can do in the front. I saw someone donig this setup with 235 tires, so it sould work, if you want to be safe however go for 225. the main isse is rubbing on the inner side at the struits, and tire manufacturer do vary in wide of the flanks, so if you have a "wide" flank it may still rub with 235 tires. 225 give you some more space to play with. best is to testfit if you go for a setup this tight just to be sure

XXR 536 (BBS Super RS Reps) SPECS: (STAGGERED) 18 X 9 +18 18 X 10 +25 5 X 100

I've been having a hard time finding correct tire specs to fit these wheels below. I'm a noob at this, first timer with any type of mod. I'm not even certain if this will void my warranty. Haha, but again thank you for your help. If you have any input, I'd appreciate that as well. Thanks a bunch.

So I'm purchasing these: http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBa...=1458070556773

XXR 536 (BBS Super RS Reps)
SPECS: (STAGGERED) 18 X 9 +18 18 X 10 +25 5 X 100

I don't really know as far as what tire specs I should be looking for to have perfect fitment for the wheels. I will also be on stock suspension, just wondering what the best suspension specs would be for this wheel-tire combination. That's basically what I need help on.

I was looking into the Falken Azenis RT-615k tire set for the wheels. I've seen better options, but I like Falken. Just wanted to hear your personal opinion on it.

just to be clear, you do realize this will stick out of your fender about 20/25 mm (about 1") and your car will look like an off road car with those wheels and on stock suspension. not to mention that i doubt, even with the rather liberal laws in us, that this is really street legal.

anyways, just to answer your tire question and ignoring the fact that this is a fitting i would nerver ever recommend anyone to use

front, 245/35/18
rear, 265/30/18 or 275/30/18

again, i would really overthink your wheelchoice. if you need help in calculating what fits, let me know. if you are going for the big foot truck look, thats ok aswell, just want to be sure you actually know what those figures of the wheels you posted mean before you buy something you may regret afterwards.

cheers
