whats required to run a 265/35 on the rear? i got a set from my last CE28 set up. i have the fenders rolled and tab relocated, i have coils, i'm just wondering how much camber i'll need and if i can hit on stock roll adjusters.

fronts i'm planing on rocking the 8.5 +38 or whatever, i know its not concave, but my last squared set up bugged me with the front track looking being wider than the rear

Ya you are correct though they are a +38 offset. And I sqeezed a 265 35r18 in there

He runs 3 degrees all around. I am running 2.3 up front and 3 in the rear, and with the 265 I had to pull and roll the rears and I have spoon replica front fenders, but am really considering going with 3 just because of the occasional rub.

I haven't seen 18 x 7.5 +42 and 18 x 9.5 +40 combo used very often.

Front using 18 X 7.5 +42 with 225/40R18
would be similar to stock wheels with ~18mm spacer

The fronts would require such a massive fender pull...

Thoughts?

My car in the picture above has 18x7.5 +42 offset wheels in the front, I didn't pull or anything just a minor roll. I'm in the process of getting 2 18x9.5 +?? offset for the rear. I have 2 18x7.5 +42 offset for sale PM me if your interested!

No will not clear BBK. I had them and didn't clear my Spoons. I'm now running +27 and i have about 2mm of clearance.

Beautiful, i was thinking of selling mine but i think i'll keep them. Are those OEM fenders, look pretty flared. What specs and tires please?
wheels are 18x9.5 +40mm running 255 all around. Those fenders are OEM but rolled and flared. Yeah I like these a lot just can't run any BBK due to the offset.

thank you. I'm planning to sell these local (LA area) if anyone is interested.
Looks great!Love these wheels, part of me wants to pick a set up to replace the RPF1's...
Thanks. I pick these up to replace my RPF1's for street and got C28N for the track. These wheels look really good and relatively affordable too.

How much camber are you running?

Hey guys on this thread, I have messaged a few of you guys on this thread about specific questions about these nt03 wheels.

But I might as well just ask all of you here so you guys can give me some input

I am currently running 17x9+45 rpf1s all around with 255s. with no rubbing issues. Front and Rears are rolled. Fronts are flared and slightly pulled. Rear bumper tabs are relocated.

I'm approximately dropped 1 finger and a half gap all around. I am running -2.3 camber in the front and -3.0 on the rears.

I am planning on buying the nt03s in 18/9.5+40's all around with 255's. Will I need to modify my fenders any further for this wheel and tire specs? I've noticed that half of you guys here have over fenders and I would definitely prefer NOT to go that route.

I drive a lot of mountain roads and have been on the track once and I definitely will want to track more often in the future. Do any of you guys track your cars with these wheels? if so, how are they? These nt03s seem to be a lot stronger and don't bend like the rpf1s do.

Please let me know. ANY input would be greatly appreciated. =]

I run 18x 9.5 +38 all around with 265 35r18, rolled and flared quite a bit. Fronts were as flared as I could get them with out doing body work and the rears were pulled to the point of where the rear quarter panel wanted to dimple.

You can fit them but might have to re-flare/pull a little more. If you have access to a fender roller its very minor work IMO.

Pics of my setup are on this page a couple posts before, with the highlighter yellow rims.

I am running replica spoon fenders now but I believe they really didn't give me much more room up front.

This setup is great for these AZ mountain runs.
