well to get them to fit i used a 5mm spacer in the from and had to roll the fenders in the rear because the tires are 225/45 which is too tall but i'll be changing them in spring to a better size.

You would've rubbed even with the right diameter tires.

i'm surprised you haven't had to roll the front fenders.

What do you guys think of these wheels? They are Enkei NT-03+M in 18x9.5 in 40mm offset. I will need a 5mm spacer to fit over the brakes.

They will be going onto my Time Attack OBP STI with 265/35/18 street tires and 275/35/18 R compounds.

These are my current wheels:


These are new wheels:

Do you ever have any tire rubbing issues with the 245 Falkens? The back looks pretty tight. I'm considering 235 or 245's on my stock 17x8 BBS with currently sock suspension.

Yeah I'm rubbing on my right rear. I just have to adjust my coilovers on that corner. But other than that, they fit great. I don't know about a 245 on a 8 inch rim though. I beleive a 235 is a better fit.

I am running 255s on a 9inch wide wheel, and only rub on my right rear with a couple people in the back seat

I'm running a 275 on a 10" wheel and i don't rub.

(comments such as these without suspension and alignment info is pointless).

have you tested them on the brembos? they've been rumor'd to clear without a spacer.
