Question on Enkei RPF1 17x9.5 +38
I'm going to buy a set of dedicated track rims. My question is what size wheel spacers will I need to clear the brembo calipers in the front and to avoid rubbing the rear LCA's? I'm aware that the rear fenders need to be rolled but do the front need to be "massaged"? Tires that will be mounted on these will be Nitto NT01 in size 275/40/17.
Thanks in advance for your help.

my race rims are the 17x9 RPF1's w/ 275's as well, the spacer you'll need is a 20mm for the front. You will need to roll and massage the front fenders, -3 degrees of camber and you'll be just fine for the front, for the rear you'll just need to roll the fenders
be careful w/ the fronts, i had one of mine crack on me, my buddy who was rolling them saw it sticking out a little in one spot, went to push it in and boom, cracked it!
here's a pic of what it'll look like

^^^That doesn't even deserve an answer lol. You will need a 20mm for the front. I use the kiks that has the studs built in. A lot of people suggest not to use them but I have yet to have a problem when roadracing. I know Hotlap motorsports used them for timeattack last year with not a problem among others here too that use them with zero issues. Make sure you find a hubcentric ring also.
