nto3m 18x9.5 +27 fitment help (tire, roll, spacers?)

I am looking to buy some new rims and I'm really considering the nto3ms in 18x9.5 +27 but it seems like I can't find a definite fitment answer. I know I'll need atleast 10 mm spacers up front but I have no idea which brand and type to go with? Hubcentric (I don't even know the difference haha)? Is it true if I go with a 265/35 ill need to get my rear fenders rolled? Does a 255 require rear fender rolling? Anything else I need to look out for? Ill also be lowered on swift sports (1.4f and .8r drop)Thanks

You will have to run about max camber in the front with the springs, and about -1.8* in the rear.
You will have to roll the rears. period. with any tire.
Get a 10-12 MM hubcentric spacer for the fronts.

will max camber in the front make the tires wear irregularly?

On gtworx springs I did not have to roll the rear fenders with a 255 tire. 10mm spacer up front is required. -2 camber up front and -1 in the back. to confirm bchappys post.

T1r's run small, with any max performance street tire in the 255-265 range you will need to run near -2* in the front and 1.8* in the rear.
I ran swifts with this wheel combo and 265s on the track and there is no way you will not rub without rolling the fenders.

The fronts will fit fine without the spacers, but the rears will require rolling of the fenders.

thanks for the imput guys, but will having the camber set up -2 in the front and 1.8 in the rear cause irregular tire wear?

Yes, if you just drive in on the street. If it only sees road course track action it will improve wear.

Irregular tire wear comes more from toe not camber. I got some Toyo proxes r888 in 255-35-18 for sale; pretty much new if anyone is interested. PM me.
