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. =]

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.

Ya I hear you. I think I'd go with 255's at least. You are running a good alignment for that setup. The new setup will only stick out about 11mm more. So it would be like throw a 11mm spacer on your RPF-1's.
On top of that you will get a very mild stretch because the rim is a 9.5 inch.
How much room do you have now?

I wish I could tell you how much room I have but my car is in the shop right now because some guy backed into my PARKED car. I will get it back saturday.
Yeah I don't mind if there is a minor stretch on the tire. As long as it doesnt look like one of those FATLACE cars.
I see a lot of people running over fenders here on this thread. It's be because they are running 265's at the least huh? btw thanks for giving your input. any help is greatly appreciated.

are hub centric rings necessary at all with these wheels? Also for the people running 18x9.5 255/35 I was wondering.. would Axle spacers benefit that set up at all? I dont plan on slamming the car maybe a finger gap all around or slightly less. Any input is much appreciated.

I am running the 265 setup and have fenders in the front but I believe to can squeeze a 265 on stock fenders all around. As for 255's as long as you run 3.0 degrees camber all around you should have a problem. I never relized how much camber can play a roll. I run that in my rear and I have enough room to probably run a 5mm spacer... as for the fronts I am running 2.3 degrees and will probably increase to 3.0 when I can get the chance. I don't rub during normal driving but rub occasionally mid apex.
