Enkei NT03

What is the widest you can run and the most aggressive offset that will not take away from the cars handling.

The widest NT03's are 10.5, but the offset is only +30. I know they've been run on Evo X's w/o spacers, but I'd still get 15mm spacers all around

Thanks Ryan. I was afraid to go too wide and have rubbing issues. My current setup is 18x9.5 offset of +12. I want to go wider, but not take away from "turn-in", etc....

If you ran 15mm spacers all around it would effectively be the same offset I run with my TE's, +15. I've rolled and slightly flared my rear fenders to fit, but if the rear fenders were rolled flush (mine aren't) fitment won't be an issue. You'll be able to run a 275/35/18 street tire no problem. I haven't touched my front fenders, and there's plenty of clearance.

Comparing the 18x10.5 +30 NT03 +m to a 18x9.5 +20 Rota Grids offset, the difference is only 3mm outward thus not much fender modification needed. Yes, Enkei verified that it will clear our calipers, but my only concern is if it will clear the OEM suspension or KW3 suspension. Can anyone verify this?

AWM3, lets do some research, maybe if we get 2 sets of this, we can get a little discount. I work in OC...let me know. thanks!

They clear the suspension, no worries.

i have the exact wheels you're talking about and i'm not running any spacers. they clear the calipers just fine, and i didn't rolled or flared my fenders. there is minor rubbing on the inside plastic cover, but there's really not much you can do about that. handling is awesome. if you have mudflaps then you're going to have to do some trimming.... but not a big issue. let me know if you have any questions

the 10.5 +30's look really nice as well. not a fan of the convex nt03's.

For some reason the NT03's have grown on me. I need to change up my wheels, as I starting getting bored if I have a set of wheels too long.

I hated them for the longest time and thats because i only saw pics of the convex sizes

The 18x9.5 +27 and the 18x10.5 +30 look hawt, much more concave
