Any rubbing with that setup? Just curious if you've had to roll your fenders or not.

Also, any particular reason why you didn't go with more common 245 or 255s?

Looks awesome.

No rubbing, not even close. I personally would have loved to go with 255s but I bought the set from someone on CL and he was selling with tires. Tires were literally brand spanking new too so I gotta live with it for the time being lol.

As requested, pictures of the Enkei NT03+M in SBC finish. Specs are 18x9.5 +27 all around wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 255/40/18. Currently lowered on Progress Technology springs and Koni Yellow shocks.

As expected, the 255/40/18 tires are tall, so there was some initial rubbing with the rear bumper tabs even while running -3 camber as well with some slight rubbing with the corner lights on the front with -2 camber (Aiming to go as close to -3 as possible on the fronts soon). Fenders are slightly pulled on the front and rolled while the rear fenders and bumper tabs are shaved; fender liners were also trimmed all around. At the moment, there are no issues anymore with the rears after shaving the tabs down while the front side-markers still occasionally rub when driven hard.

Picked up these Enkei Kojin 18x9.5 +30 locally last week, plan to change the color soon and get wider tires.

Glad to have finally picked up a set up Enkei wheels.

Those look super sexy man! What tires specs and springs/coils are you running? Any rubbing?

You have any more pics of the whole car from the side?
