Hey guys im obviously pretty new to the site at least in respect to posting, ive been looking for answers to my wheel fitment questions for about a month and havent found the 100% answer i have been looking for. So hopefully someone can clear it up for me.

05 Evo 8 Mr on stock bilsteins.

I want to go with 18x9.5 NT03's. Im alright with rolling fenders but I dont want to put spacers on because I have been told that for racing use (whether it be autox or rally/offroad) you shouldnt have spacers in. Now from reading other threads ive gathered +35 offset is fine for back with no spacers but I see the problem is always the front and wondered what offset I should use for the front seeing as i would have to put 20mm (ive gathered) if i went +35 all around. What do i need to worry about as in tire size then? can it be the same size tire for front and back with a different offset? I dont need anything huge but something around 255 or 265.

Thanks in advance

 

Ran you no.s on the calc. Running a 265/35 will require, at the minimum, a flat fender roll to fit running stockish rear camber. Using the 255 will likely be OK w/a slight rear fender roll

Note: Running diff offsets front to back is OK, but the tire size should remain the same spec all around

 

Ok so 255s work for me with a fender roll.

What about the front offset to stay square with no spacers on 18x9.5 nt03's? Rolling is fine with me there as well. Would it be a +15 to clear the stock brembos?

 

There is a way to run the NT03's w/out spacers but you will have diff front to rear offsets & will not be able to rotate

Most guys run the NT03's w/a large front spacer which seems to have been a proven setup

Im not going to quote offsets & specs on the NT03's because have not studied the topic recently
There are many guys here who know the spec

Heres a thread that will give you a good idea but you will need to rifle through it
