fitment with a 265 tire

I have a Evo8 and i plan on running enkie nt03 18x9.5 +27 with a 265 tire.

what size spacers do i need? the fenders are already pulled in the front and the rear.

maybe ill need to run a little more camber do it doesnt rub?

any help would be great!

You will need the following to run a 265 tire on a 9.5" +27 NT03:
-10mm spacer in the front
-Rolled/Pullled rear fenders
-Remove rear bumper bolt 1-2" back, so that the tire doesn't hit it under compression.
-Front fender liner removed (if you don't want it rubbing at full lock)
-Front fenders rolled as much as you can, which isn't much :P
-IIRC mine would rub in the rear unless I was running a minimum of about ~1.5* of camber, and in the front I'd run 2.5* or more.
