Enkei PF01 18x10.5 +38 with NT01 275/35/18 Fitment

Anyone have this fitment combination? What did you do to get these to fit.

I am a hardcore track guy. I need to know what needs to be bought or done to fit.

I currently have a Enkei NT03+M 17x9.5 +38 with Nitto NT01 275/40/17. It clears by maybe 5mm in front. My front fender has been pulled and lip completely shaved clean. Negative camber is -3.2 deg. No spacers

The rear has maybe 5mm space to clear fender. Fender has been rolled/pulled, fender lip cut clean, rear bumper bolt relocated. Running -2 deg camber. No spacers.

Hey Zhong

Did you see this thread in our Motorsports forum. Some of the 10.5" wide guys that track noted their set-ups

275 is going to roll over on a 9.5 some. How much depends on how hard you push it, but when it does, you get bad shoulder wear and skiddish handling.


And as for the question of this thread, I'll let you know in about a week when I put my 18x10.5 PF01's +38 on the Evo with Hoosier 275/35/18 A6's. Just going to do what it takes to make them fit, but I'll give a rundown.

The 18x10.5 +38 is going to rub on the rear trailing link.

Not with the RTErnie rear trailing arms...

Picked up my wheels and got the Ho-Ho's mounted last night. Hope to get the car on jackstands tonight and start checking things out.

i'll have to google those. i've been looking for an aftermarket control arm, but can't seem to find anything decent.

RTErnie is a member on here that was making these. He was working on a new billet aluminum version. Search the forum and there are plenty of pics around.

i've tried contacting him and Robi as i'm told both had options. i think maybe the market wasn't there so they quit makign them.

OK, the setup is 18x10.5 PF01's +38, with Hoosier 275/35/18 A6's. 3.6 Camber Front, 2.1 camber rear. Perrin PSRS with offset and Ciro plates at max Caster.

Progress so far: The RTErnie trailing arms let you mount this setup on the rears with no spacer and get it tucked up under the car pretty nicely. I have a moderate roll/slight pull on the rears and taking the shock off I have very good travel, I'll get pics. I am probably going to go ahead and do the bumper bolt mod and possibly cut the fenders. The steel lip in the wheel arch is pretty thick and tough and really hard to get rolled flat. I don't think it will hit, but I will make sure. If it was rolled flat against the inside, it would be fine.

Small hiccup on the fronts. Camber bolt set to the 2 degree position. I have AST5100's with Ciro caster camber plates. Tire gets into the bottom of the spring/perch area on the coilovers. Messing with spacers it clears just a little with 16mm of spacers. I am hoping that by moving the eccentric to the 1 degree position and just getting back to my camber using the top hats, I'll generate a little more tire-coilover clearance. Trying to get this figured before I see what kind of fender/wheelwell issues the fronts may have.

I'll work on it some more tomorrow, just finished two long days in the plant. I'll get some pics and post more notes soon.

If anyone could link me to any set of trailing arms, I'd be much obliged. I find nothing available right now.
