NTo3+m 18x9.5 fitment

Hey guys I have searched the best I could but I am on my phone and it is a pain. I have the opportunity to get a real good deal on these wheels and I need to know what is needed to fit them.

Wheel
NTo3+M
18x9.5
Front: +27
Rear: +40

The car right now has stock suspension and I can run a 255 tire. I just need to know what I'm going to need to do to make these fit. Roll front fenders? Roll rears? Will I need to run a couple degrees of camber up front? Spacers up front to clear stock brakes?

Thanks in advance.

255/35/18 on these wheels are fine. Assuming they're not WIDE 255 (not every 255 is exactly the same width, some 255 run wider than most)
Rears will need MINOR rolling with a +40, front will need ATLEAST 10mm spacer -no rolling though.

typically ~-3degree camber up front, ~-2.5 out back.

Should be relatively easy to bolt these on.

+1, i had this exact set up. my rear fenders were rolled and i had a 12mm spacer upfront (actually had the front fenders pulled but dont know think its necessary). i was on jic coilovers with -2.5 upfront and -1.3 in the rear. hope this helps!

Thanks guys. I can put a 245 on them as well. I don't have tires yet. I just wanted to make sure they would fit easily without too much BS.

Where did you get a 12mm spacer?

I am surprised 40mm in the rear required rolling. How much clearance on the inside?

I ran 265/35/18 Direzza Z1 Star Specs on +40 18x9.5" NT03+M's, didn't require any rolling in the rears at all. In fact, my 285/30/18 r-compounds still don't need rolling in the rear.

I wouldn't roll the rear at all, especially since you run the risk of buckling your rear fender (drivers side) where the gas filler neck is. This area is weak, and several people buckle their fenders there.

Fronts were rolled a lot (+40 front/rear is what I run), and require a 25mm spacer. With a 255 wide tire, you don't need a spacer in the rear, but you might want to watch the rear leading control arm for rubber in case it does rub there (then you'd need a small, 2-3mm spacer), but I doubt you'd have this issue.

18x9.5" +40 w/ 265/35 in the rear w/ no rubbing. you should be fine w/ 255. -1.5 camber

18x9.5" +40 w/ 265/35 front, 25mm spacer w/ lots of rubbing. need to roll and -3 camber.

not sure what's needed for +27 on the fronts.

Nils was saying that with the +38mm offset on the NT03's the minimum spacer was 17mm, NOT 25mm. I ordered the 20mm spacer. Do you have pictures to show your caliper to spoke clearance on your NT03's? Krispytapa and Solo II Evo?

I am running the Touge Factory Enkei NT03 +M's +27 with Potenza Re01R's with a 10mm or 20mm up front(I forget). I also plan on running swift spec r's and it has just enough room.

I just posted it with pics in the Confirmed Wheel Fit Thread take a look.
