NT03+M and no fender modification?

Hello guys,

I've posted on the fitment question thread as well but did not get any responses. Maybe there is not enough traffic on that thread? But I'm asking on the open forum once again,

Got some questions about Enkei NT03+M. I did research but did not find clear answers so I would like some clarifications.

I do not want to do any fender work whatsoever, and after doing some research, I'm looking at the NT03+M 18x9.5 wheels +27. I am aware that I will need 5 or 10mm spacers. I did read somewhere that using a 10mm spacer, created a slight shaking of the wheel and the owner dropped the spacer size down to 5mm with about 2-3mm of caliper clearance.

I am on stock suspension now but will lower the car (not slammed) to a reasonable height with Ohlins or H&R springs, depending on my preference in the near future.

It looks like the go-to tire size is 265/35-18. Could I put meatier tires without rubbing and without fender modifications? Tires will most likely be Michelin Pilot Super Sports

Thanks in advance!

NT03+M 18x9.5 wheels +27 on a Evo 10 only need a 5mm spacer in front.

Shaking of the wheel comes from using a spacer that isn't hub and wheel centric.

The nt03 18x10.5 et30 doesn't need spacers and perfect for nt01 275/35 tires and I'm on fa500 suspensions

I was on H&r springs before and run the stock tires (245/40) and had slight rub on the rear fenders,but then rolled it coz I was planning to go wider tires just to be safe.
